Understanding Baby Loss: Healing from Wounds and Scars.

Through my practice and understanding, baby loss. I guide women and couples to heal from the wounds and scars that they carry.

The tiny garden that I nurture today is not just filled with plants and medicinal herbs; it's also a metaphorical space where hope and healing grow. It's where I've planted the smallest broken pieces of my past, and from those fragments, a new purpose has blossomed.

Understanding Baby Loss: A Compassionate Look at Support and Healing

For many women, the journey towards motherhood is not a straightforward path. The joy and anticipation can be overshadowed by loss and grief, especially when it comes to baby loss. This invisible issue can often leave women feeling gaslighted and alone.

Different Types of Baby Loss

• Miscarriage: The loss of a baby before the 24th week of pregnancy.
• Stillbirth: The loss of a baby after the 24th week.
• Ectopic Pregnancy: A potentially life-threatening condition where the embryo implants outside the uterus.
• Neonatal Death: The death of a newborn within the first 28 days of life.

My Personal Experience with TTTS and Stillbirth

Every birth and every loss has shaped me into who I am. Among my most profound experiences was the loss of my identical twin daughter Rhian, classified as stillbirth but intricately connected to Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS). TTTS is a rare condition where identical twins share blood vessels within the placenta, leading to an imbalance in blood flow. For us, this condition meant that Rhian received insufficient blood while her twin thrived. This disparity led to the devastating loss of Rhian, while her surviving sister, now 25, stands as a testament to life's unpredictable balance of sorrow and joy.

The necklace that I once broke in half, symbolising this bond and loss, now represents something more profound. One half is buried with Rhian, while the other half lost somewhere in time- holds a legacy of love, growth, and a life reclaimed.

I've traversed this path not as a naïve young woman who moved to London, nor as a broken soul who struggled to get out of bed with post natal depression. I'm a survivor, a healer, a mother, a wife.

As I continue to walk this winding path of healing, I leave behind footprints for others to follow. Footprints that say, "You are not alone. You can heal. You can live a rich and fulfilling life. And most importantly, you can find peace and joy again."

My story is a story of loss and love, of despair and hope, of infertility and fertility. It's my legacy and my gift to you, hoping it will reach someone in need, ignite a spark of healing, and inspire a journey back to life.

Thank you for letting me share it with you.
