We're so honoured to have the beautiful Meagan Donaldson on with us this week to share the story of her daughter Violet. October is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month and we feel so privileged to be able to hold space for important conversations like these.

Meagan talks us through the story of her beautiful daughter Violet who was sadly affected by a genetic condition which came to light during the pregnancy. Meagan shares her story of pregnancy then termination and birthing her beautiful daughter. She shares some amazing insights on how to help parents during these situations and also her experience with pregnancy after loss.

Maegan also shares with us some of the amazing things she has been doing in this space to make other parents experiencing loss feel less alone. This includes creating a loss room at her local hospital, as well as publishing her book "Still a Mum".

We hope this story helps any other parents going through loss feel a bit more seen and know that you are not alone. Sending so much love out to anyone who has experienced the loss of a baby, infant or loved one.
