Elle Wright had an easy pregnancy. Her scans went well, she and her baby were healthy throughout and in May 2016 she, and her husband, welcomed their son, Teddy, into the world. But a few hours after giving birth, they woke to find a nurse holding a cold and unresponsive Teddy who had stopped breathing during the night. The happiest day of Elle's life had turned into every parent's worst nightmare. Three days after delivering him into the world, Elle sat with Teddy in her arms as he took his last breaths. Ask Me His Name is a moving account of Elle's pregnancy, Teddy's life and what happens when a mother leaves a hospital with empty arms. In this honest and hopeful exploration of a different kind of mothering, Elle explores how she navigated a parenthood that no one had prepared her for.
