Strength after Stillbirth

Exactly two years this month - Estefania lost her daughter Agatha at just over full term.

A perfect pregnancy until there was some confusion towards the end, which was flagged by Estefania.

Repeatedly being reassured that everything is fine by Health practitioners she believed that everything will work out.

After consistent rhythmic movements, unlike kicks - she was still assured that this is very normal.

Until she used a doppler at home and alarm bells rang.

Since finding out the devastating news, Estefania has been on a journey of grief and healing with the support of her wonderful family. 

She shares her pain and the the birth of her rainbow baby Elena. 

Agatha is honored in the podcast and her story will help other parents hopefully find some awareness and future pregnancy success.

Agatha has an Instagram page dedicated to her called @agathasjourney

Thanksgiving day 2020 wasn't the usual day of gratitude. But a heart wrenching time for Joy and her family.

After being blessed with 3 children and having to undergo a lot of medical intervention with her 3rd child, she never thought it could any worse. But to then suffer a stillbirth at full term with her angel son GRANT.

Joy explains her journey through her fear during her perfect pregnancy with Grant. How she is getting by one day at a time.

And as her name, she still manages to spread joy and love with all of her experiences after losing Grant.

Still very raw, but she found the courage to speak, share and honour her son Grant with us today.

Listen to the end and find out the potential rainbow after so much darkness for Joy. 

We will be in speaking again soon in the near future.

Thank you so much.

After two failed pregnancy tests and no obvious signs of pregnancy. Ksid managed to get all the way to full term and once admitted in hospital with her pains, she was made aware of her pregnancy. 

Ksid gave birth to a handsome sized baby boy called Reese born sleeping. She went through all this and still managed to attain her degree in her last semester at University.

We all wonder 'what if' and although the moments were few, Ksid will continue her life honouring her Spirit Angel Reese.

Ksid plans to study further and research pregnancy and infant loss. We look forward to connecting again to share her findings in the near future.

Thank you KSID and thank you Reece x

I have so much respect for Teresa after our talk.

To be in a position to speak so openly about her experience after it just occurred in December 2020. Shows how strong this lady is. 

The tears rolled down my face listening to the loss of her angel Collette.

At 41 weeks, looking forward to a VBAC and a homebirth. To then suffer through a critical Uterine rupture and detached placenta.

Teresa herself going in and out of consciousness - still holding on to the hope for her daughters survival, even after her loss.

My heart goes our to her and her family. Thank you for sharing your story and honouring your angel Collette.

We usually imagine the mother losing her angel in hospital surrounded by so many professionals. 

Unfortunately Shelby had to deliver her angel Lena all by herself at home with her midwife on the phone.

After so many concerned visits and calls by Shelby, she was always reassured with possible Braxton Hicks and that she will be fine at almost 37 weeks.

This was not the case, the trauma she had to experience pre and post delivery by herself is something Shelby is still trying to digest.

She is such a brave soul who shares her traumatic event that happened amidst the pandemic. 

Honouring her angel daughter Lena and starting a charity called Lena's Linens making custom robes and donating to hospitals for stillborn babies.

Janell is a bubbly school teacher who adores children and is so loved. 

She is the youngest sister to lots of brothers, everyone was so happy for her news of becoming a mum and having her little one in her arms.

Janell is so spirited and so strong even after losing her angel Chloe during this pandemic. 

She radiates love and hope and discusses her life after loss and finding happiness again. 

This is the beginning for Janell and we hope to have her back on her show to see how Chloe is guiding her mums present and future and supporting her every step to move forward.

LaCara shares her story after losing her angel baby recently during a pandemic. 

Being told that her child will not survive in the world and she will go to sleep forever.

LaCara was hit so hard it broke her to the core. 

LaCara discusses her trauma and physical pain after her loss and opens up about her emotional grief.

She views life differently now and she has totally transformed.
