Ooof, this is an emotional one people.

This week we chat to Sian Gardner https://www.instagram.com/flicks_and_red_lips/ We last had her on the podcast back in season 8 (no one can remember the episode number, but it was forty something)

In our previous episode, Sian talked about the loss of her baby boy, Chase to a TFMR (termination for medical reasons)

Since we recorded, Sian has gone on to experience another TFMR with her daughter Aubrey.

In this epsiode, we talk about the strength of the TFMR community, the help that Sian has sought out and received and the pain of losing a second child in this way, alongside the joy she was able to find during her pregnancy and birth with Aubrey.

This is a hugely personal and emotional episode, but one that is full of inspiration and beauty.

There’s support for TFMR out there - here are the resources we cover in this podcast episode.

💔 Episode Summary

In this episode, Serena shares her story of pregnancy, loss, and everything that came after.

She talks about the early excitement of becoming a mum, and how quickly things changed as she was faced with difficult decisions no one ever expects to make. Serena opens up about the emotional weight of that time, navigating medical conversations, uncertainty, and the kind of grief that’s hard to put into words.

We talk about the role of healthcare and how support, or lack of it, can shape your experience during pregnancy and loss. Serena reflects on how grief showed up for her in ways she didn’t expect, and how returning to everyday life, including work, felt far from simple.

This episode is about the complexity of loss, the courage it takes to keep going, and the importance of giving yourself the space and care you need along the way.

💬 Key Takeaways

• Pregnancy can begin with hope and excitement, before everything shifts unexpectedly.
• Experiences within the healthcare system can deeply affect how loss is processed.
• Being faced with difficult decisions during pregnancy can feel overwhelming and isolating.
• Grief after loss is complex and can show up in unexpected ways.
• Support from healthcare professionals can make a meaningful difference.
• Returning to work after loss isn’t always straightforward and may take time.
• Resilience often grows quietly through lived experience.
• Self-care is not a luxury, it’s a necessity after emotional trauma.

💔 Episode Summary

In this episode, Shruti Trivedi shares her deeply personal journey through grief, motherhood, and finding her way back to herself.

She opens up about the many layers of loss she has experienced, including pregnancy loss, and how those experiences shaped her path into mental health and life coaching. Shruti talks honestly about what it’s like to carry grief while continuing with everyday life, and how long it can take to truly allow yourself to feel what’s been pushed aside.

We also explore the cultural stigma around mental health, and how that can make it even harder to talk about loss or seek support. Shruti reflects on the role therapy played in helping her process emotions she had buried for years, and why being seen and validated can be so powerful.

Through everything, she shares how she continues to honour her babies in meaningful ways, and how her work has become part of that legacy. This episode is about resilience, identity, and the slow, ongoing process of healing — and a reminder that you’re allowed to feel it all.

In this episode Bex & Laura answer a question from the community.

Bex also tries to make up a jingle for ‘questions from the community’ but it’s fair to say, she fails.

The question this week is around navigating life after loss - How to handle pregnant people around you.

The girls talk about the importance of boundaries and setting expectations, prepping your partner or friends during social visits, navigating the painful feelings like guilt, shame and ‘feeling like a diva’

They chat about whats app groups, being angry when invited to baby showers, being angry when not invited to baby showers and the injustice and unfairness of the situation as a whole.

They also discuss how communication can help almost every situation.
