Labour MP chokes back the tears as she tells MPs of losing her baby at 16
A Labour MP choked back the tears in the House of Commons today as she recounted her heart-breaking story of losing her five-day old daughter when she was a teenager. Vicky Foxcroft, whose baby, Veronica, was starved of oxygen at birth when the cord was wrapped round her neck, said she had remained childless since because she could not face the ordeal of losing a baby again. The MP for Lewisham and Deptford, who was just 16 at the time, said: "She lived for five days but we had to agree to the life machine being turned off. I got to hold her then for the first time until her heartbeat eventually stopped. She stayed alive for hours, I never wanted to let her go."
She was never able to cry, to smile, but I loved her and I desperately wanted her. I don't not talk about her because I'm embarrassed. I'm not. It's because it hurts too much to do so.

Ms Foxcroft spoke out during a Commons debate held as part of a series of events held in Parliament during Baby Loss Awareness Week. She said it was the hardest decision of her life to talk about her baby and apologised to family and friends for never telling them about her loss. Other MPs also shared their painful experiences, with Conservative Antoinette Sandbach, who lost her five-day-old son, Sam, in 2009, describing baby loss as a silent killer which has been "brushed under the carpet". Another Tory MP Will Quince, whose son was stillborn, said: "There is no experience, in my view, worse than seeing your wife give birth to a lifeless baby. It is something that never leaves you and every single day, I think about my son."
It's undoubtedly the most moving debate I have participated in, in the 11-and-a-half years I have been in this House
