Pregnancy, usually a time of excitement and joy. The exhilaration of seeing those pink lines appear on a pregnancy test. The delight of witnessing your bump grow. The thrill of hearing your baby’s heartbeat. The elation of feeling that first-kick.

This is the classic story.

But there many other stories. There is the story of the pregnancy marked with fear, stress and anxiety. Where every cramp or twinge results in a panic attack. This is the story of thousands of women who go through another pregnancy after the heartbreak and devastation of miscarriage, stillbirth and newborn death.

This week, as part of Never Forgotten: Mamamia’s Pregnancy Loss Awareness Week we’re remembering the babies we’ve lost. Post continues below.

This is the story of two mums, Janelle Tsockallos and Lyndell Price and their journey through pregnancy following their losses.

While undergoing fertility treatment, Janelle suffered multiple early miscarriages and a late miscarriage, where she delivered twins at 18 weeks and 6 days gestation. After taking time to heal emotionally and physically she got pregnant again nine months after the twin’s delivery. Her daughter is now nine years old.

After a first pregnancy that resulted in a miscarriage, Lyndell’s daughter Charlotte was stillborn at 29 weeks.

An estimated one in four pregnancies (103,000) end in miscarriage in Australia each year, while approximately 3,000 babies are either stillborn or die in the first 28 days after birth.
