A week after giving a little red box containing two tiny booties to her parents, Cheree Kinnear was lying in a hospital bed learning she had just lost her baby.
Today, the In the Loop co-host and Herald Focus presenter bravely speaks about her heartbreak after miscarrying late last year,
and why she believes we need to be more open about pregnancy loss.
Although one in four women will lose a baby in miscarriage in the first three months of pregnancy, Cheree says discussing miscarriage and stillbirth are still taboo subjects worldwide, linked to stigma and shame.
In the episode Cheree explains to co-host Katie Harris why she went against common advice to keep the news a secret in the first trimester, and why she doesn’t regret telling her family.
