Miscarriage, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, infant loss.
None of these are a failure.
They happen too often, to anybody, every single day. It’s not a disease, it can’t be cured and we don't even know why.
*1in 4 pregnancies result in miscarriage*
*1 in 160 pregnancies result in stillbirth*
It’s time we erase the stigma.

However you're feeling, it's ok to feel that way. Your feelings are valid. Try not to be afraid of speaking out and asking for help.

"Be who you are, say what you feel. Because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."

Happy Monday to you all xx

To all the mamas and papas out there who are struggling and need to hear this...

It's OK if your grief and feelings you thought you'd dealt with resurface.

Grief comes in waves and is a continuous process.

Acknowledge your grief. It's ok to feel.

Simply take each day as it comes 🙏

Well done to actress Hilary Duff for talking so honestly and openly about the anxiety that can come along with breastfeeding 🤱...

"It's emotional for me"

It doesn't matter how long ago it happened, or at what stage it happened... grieving for the loss of a baby doesn't EVER stop.

There is nothing worse than the shock of what happened, or the heartache for what will never be.

"It was JUST a miscarriage..." gets said so many times yet it was STILL a baby... YOUR baby...
The shock of it all can be traumatising to go through - both physically and emotionally, so be kind to yourself and others.

You're allowed to be heartbroken or, even not know how to feel. So NEVER, EVER let anyone tell you how to feel about your miscarriage or baby loss.

If you feel you need someone to talk to please DM me.
