WORD OF ADVICE

My heart broke when I discovered I’d lost my very first baby at just 14 weeks along. My husband was by my side throughout the healing process, and I recognised that he needed to heal too. So often, women think a miscarriage happens to us alone, and we don’t see the suffering of our partners, because they have to be so strong for us. My advice to women who have lost a pregnancy is to be open to your partner’s emotions too, because they’re just as important as ours. DENISE
