Like KYM, I Know The Pain Of Losing A Baby

In February this year, Kym Marsh marked what would have been her son Archie’s ninth birthday. He was born at 21 weeks and passed away not long after.

Since losing Archie in 2009, the Coronation Street actress has been vocal about miscarriage and stillbirth.

‘It’s something you never get over,’ Kym says. ‘And it’s something so many people are going through all the time.’

Kym’s Corrie character, Michelle Connor, also suffered a stillbirth in early 2017. The actress admitted that the difficult storyline took her to ‘dark places’ but hoped the scenes might help other women in the same position to get help.

Kym now raises money for the Mariposa Trust, a charity that helps families deal with the pain of losing a baby at any stage.

And, like Kym, Victoria Harris, 37, is determined to keep talking about such a difficult topic...

I’d been dating James, an electrician, for seven months when I fell pregnant in 2007. It was a surprise but a happy one.

But while some mums-to-be are blessed with a rosy glow, my pregnancy got harder with each week. I was exhausted and bleeding constantly.

Despite my fears, the doctors were reassuring. At eight weeks, when a scan showed the bleeding was caused by a subchorionic haematoma – bleeding between the placenta and uterus – they weren’t worried, saying the problem would resolve itself.

Sudden pain

But in the November, when I was 18 weeks pregnant, I was woken in the night by an unbearable pain in my stomach.
