173: Joss West had four miscarriages in a row but never gave up hope


Listen Later

Joss West was born in the Northern Territory and grew up on cattle stations. She's always been an animal lover and brought all kinds of creatures home when she was a little girl, from dingo pups, to injured brumby foals. It wasn't a surprise to her family then when she went on to become a vet, and she now manages a pre-export quarantine property in Victoria. Joss met her husband in a very romantic way....while preg testing cattle! When they decided to try for a family of their own though, they faced a heartbreaking journey. Unbelievably, Joss had four miscarriages in a row before her rainbow baby Poppy arrived. A warning this episode might be triggering for anyone who has suffered pregnancy loss.
