  • Jess talks about her son Oaken
  • \\xa0In spring of 2020, Jess was pregnant and had a 12 week scan. The scan identified concerns with the baby and it was soon confirmed he had a chromosome problem \\u2013 Edwards Syndrome also known as Trisomy 18. This meant that their baby was likely to be miscarried and, if he did make it to birth, he would not live long \\u2013 maybe a year if their were really lucky.\\xa0
  • Jess said Martin House provided support to us right from the start. They helped us write a care plan which ensured our objectives were articulated to the various medics involved. We desperately wanted to meet our baby, whom we named Oaken.
