Support the Cheeseman family on their journey to bring baby Cheeseman into the world

After a routine heart scan at 24 weeks pregnant after having a previous child (Sienna) with a heart condition it was discovered that Ashleigh’s cervix was open. On further investigation, it became apparent that baby Cheeseman was trying to make his way into the world far too early. Ashleigh was transferred to Christchurch women’s hospital where she is on strict bedrest while the doctors try do everything they can to keep baby Cheeseman in the womb so he can have a fighting chance in this world. It is a very stressful time for the Cheeseman family, Simon and Ashleigh have three other children at home and Simon has just started a new job with no sick leave or annual leave available. After the journey of overcoming Sienna’s massive hurdles, the Cheeseman’s now have another long road ahead of them. They are taking each day as it comes with the prospect of months ahead in the hospital.
