Please be aware Emily has chosen to share pictures of her sons Archie and Louie with her story. 

In 2022, I gave birth to my beautiful son Archie. The pregnancy was stress free with no complications. I was naive to think that this was the case with all pregnancies. 

I fell pregnant again in December 2023 but sadly miscarried in February 2024. This was the first of many miscarriages. I fell pregnant quickly again but then had a second miscarriage in April 2024. I was told by medical staff that I would have to have a third miscarriage before any investigations were completed. This felt so wrong and I just wanted to feel supported. 

I again fell pregnant quickly but ended up going through an ectopic pregnancy in July 2024. At this point, I thought I’d get some medical intervention and investigations. However, at this stage I was told that this loss did not count as a third miscarriage because it was an ectopic pregnancy and if it had made it to the right place, it could have been a viable pregnancy. 

We fell pregnant again but miscarried for the third time (our fourth loss) in November 2024. I did have some testing done at this stage however everything came back normal. 

We had four losses in the space of nine/ten months. It was such a difficult time, and we never really saw light at the end of the tunnel. Throughout the whole process I felt so lonely. I knew a lot of people that had gone through a miscarriage but never four losses. I was convinced there must be something wrong and was desperate to get answers. I felt no one listened and understood and just palmed me off saying it’s really common and I was just unlucky. 

I wish I knew about all the fantastic charities available at the time and the support they give because no one should have to feel alone when they go through this trauma.

Fast forward to March 2025. We fell pregnant and in November 2025 I gave birth to our rainbow baby Louie. To anyone going through anything like this, don’t give up and never give up hope.
