Mum who had 16 miscarriages and stillbirth in 7 years gives birth to healthy baby

Miracle baby: Orion was born after an agonising eight-hour labour

A woman who had 16 miscarriages and a stillbirth has given birth to a healthy baby boy who she was convinced had died.

Brave Tasha Adams gave birth to tiny baby Orion Rudi Beau after fearing she would lose another child.

Tasha, from London, was rushed to hospital a week before baby Orion was born, convinced that he had stopped moving.

Doctors thankfully found his heartbeat but feared for his health due to a "sudden reduction in movement".

Mum and baby were closely monitored with regular scans and Tasha started having contractions on Sunday.

What followed next was a three-day ordeal of uncertainty.

"We spent the next few days very anxious as my gut told me something was wrong even though clinically everything was fine," the mum-of-three said.

But in the last 24 hours of her labour, Tasha found out her baby had an extremely slow heart rate and would only move if pressure was applied.

She was eventually induced on Wednesday but her waters took two hours to break.
Eight hours later she finally gave birth to baby Orion.

"At 4.02pm our beautiful baby boy was born into the world and I held my breath until he cried," Tasha said.

"Which he did. The paediatrics took him straight away and they made sure he was doing well which he is."

Now Tasha, who is also mum to Honey and Riley, has shared her amazing story on Facebook in a viral post which has been liked nearly 25,000 times.

Referring to little Orion's slow heart rate, Tasha said: "Every mother should listen to their instincts, only a mummy can truly know when something's wrong."

"Shout and scream if they have to. I did."

She said if she hadn't been in hospital when the contractions started "it would of been a completely different story".

She added: "Seven years, 16 miscarriages, a stillbirth and here is our little Orion Rudi Beau."
