This is one of the hardest stories I’ve ever had to write. Because it’s still happening.
You may have read that last year I had a miscarriage in October; but would you believe that I have literally been dealing with it since then?
When the coronavirus pandemic started, I was in the midst of the most painful stomach cramps that had me needing three different types of opioids just to be able to take a shower.
WATCH: A tribute to the babies we’ve lost. Post continues below.
Let me take you back.
My pregnancy was fully planned in August 2019, and I had done all the right things with my GP and gynaecologist; but we never talked about what can happen when you lose a baby.
I was just told about all the good parts and tricky parts of pregnancy, and then sent on my way without an Implanon in my left arm, ready for a good rogering by the love of my life.

Wow - Heather's departure was when I tuned out of Sam Wood's season of The Bachelor - she was so different and so brilliant, but in the end couldn't handle the format any more, which required her to become increasingly open and vulnerable with no guarantees for herself at the end of the day. Sam and Snezana have since proved their staying power, which is awesome, but I'm super happy that Heather has found someone she deserves. Yay!
