My youngest daughters name was at the time a very unusual one which l first heard whilst working on a Childrens ward at our local hospital. It was a bit weird the way l found myself working as Bank Staff covering a nightshift that my Mum normally worked on that ward, and had done for almost 30years. Mum was terminally ill with Breast cancer at the time, so l was taking her place, yet no connections had been made by the admin staff to this fact as we both had different surnames. During the shift, a lovely little girl about 2years old kept standing up in her cot, and shouting 'Mummy' after me, putting her arms up to be lifted out for a cuddle. Noticed her very unusual name, and it stuck.in my head. I never did return to work on that ward ever again. I just got on with my life and bringing up my own 4 girls, the youngest was just a year old. A few months later, l wasnt feeling too good, visited my GP, who put it down to stress with my Mum being so ill, and possibly Spanish tum has l had just returned from a short break in Spain. Things didnt improve, so blood tests and scans were ordered, the results of which were quite a shock, l was 22 weeks Pregnant, with failed contraception still in place, and working back the dates, would have concieved around the time the little Girl was shouting Mummy after me on my Mums ward at the Hospital. l chose to use the same name for my Daughter, only for it to be released by the Pop group Erasure a couple of weeks after her arival! She curses me for it now, that Song has been her Theme tune with people teasing her by singing it as soon as she enters the room, she hates it, and as the Manager of a local Nursery, she now has several parents who have coppied the name for their new arrival after meeting my daughter whilst dropping off an older sibling at Nursery!
