I'm so happy you had your daughter, but if you decide to try for another baby, PLEASE... seek out the help of a high risk pregnancy Dr. They will make all the difference for you, and your experience... sending you lots of love....🩷
I'm a Midwife and Neonatal nurse, who has worked in Neonatal Intensive Care Units in 4 countries, over 35 years. Its a hard job and a blessing, both at once. We care, for sick babies (needing surgical and medical care) and extreme premature babies from birth until their discharge home.. And care for babies before, during and following their deaths, and their parents. I lost 5 babies, ( 3 @ 8 weeks, 1 @ 10 weeks, and 1@ 18weeks ) They found that my miscarriages were due to low levels of progesterone ( the hormone that maintains pregnancy) I received progesterone injections, weekly, throughout my other 2 pregnancies and we now have 2 wonderful adult sons, who we're so proud of. Im now also a Bereavement Counsellor , with a Masters degree, who works to support the Bereaved parents in my care.
Bless her and to anyone who has lost a baby. I had a miscarriage back in August and now I am 8 weeks along. The anxiety is real..praying things go better this time. ❤
I found out I had a MMC at a private ultrasound boutique. The woman was so sweet and cried with me and I honestly found it very comforting to know my pain was validated and I wasn't alone. It meant a lot to me.
I’m a retired elementary school teacher and love babies and kids. I had two miscarriages between my second and third kids, so I have tasted some loss. I love these videos! Had I not become a teacher at age 47, I had seriously considered midwifery. I love your positive and exuberant attitude!
I hope the couples and their baby's are doing good. I love what James said about Corrin ( I hope I spelled her name correctly) She's done the hard work for nine months now it's my turn to step up, such a good man. Emma is a fantastic MCA.
What an amazing video.............. Oh how I remember losing my second baby.............. Back in those days people did NOT understand. It was literally - get up and keep moving............ Thank heavens for these girls today! HUGS to them all!
1991, I lost my only son at 38 weeks due to HELLP syndrome. Back then, it was like 1 in 10K burths. Now, unfortunately, it's more common. I was devastated and still have PTSD from it. My nurses are the one who saved my life, they lost their own ICU nurse to HELLP 2 weeks earlier, and her baby lived. I have empathy for any prenatal or birth loss.
So emotionel❤ my grandchildren, twins were born 13 weeks too early, vaginal and with no painkiller, my daughter is a trooper💪We are from Denmark and we do as much naturel birth as possibly. I just knew from the beginning, like a 6. sense that they would come too early😢 Today they are 2 years old and healthy. They are a bit small, but keeping up with every thing else❤
I have had around 12 miscarriages. I have 6 children. My last 2 were emergency csections and since having my last csection I’ve lost every baby I’ve been pregnant with. 12 or so. Most all are lost between 6-9 weeks but the latest was at 13 weeks. It’s been so heartbreaking.
I must say Emma is a beautiful woman both inside and out. Her husband is a very handsome man and he seems like a sweet guy too. I have had 2 miscarriages myself. I wish that in the late '90s in the US there was some kind of bereavement counseling. It was not just hard on me but also on my husband at the time. To be quite honest I don't know if they have anything in place even now in the US. In so many ways the US is far far behind the UK in women's health. I am thoroughly enjoying this series. Thank you!
My sister lost her baby at 38 weeks. I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks and I’m sorry but it’s not the same. My sister had to deliver a baby, she had to have a funeral and bury her baby
I've watched all of Emma's training and for the longest time I couldn't figure out where I'd seen her before and then I remembered "the Voice Britain." I loved her reactions so much and I've enjoyed watching her training, she's such a sweet lady! 🥹👍🏼🇨🇦
So many folks in the comments here misunderstanding the use of the term rainbow baby. It makes me very sad as a momma to two rainbow babies. A rainbow baby is a baby born after a previous loss. It is meant to be like the rainbow that appears after a storm. Or, if you're of a more religious bent, it is meant to represent God's faithfulness and mercy, like God sent the rainbow to Noah. It is an entirely appropriate use of the word rainbow.
Being South African 🇿🇦 we use the term rainbow babies a bit more loosely to include free children and biracial babies I am the proud grandmother of a rainbow baby and my world is complete with my best friend my beautiful grandson in my life …I only have one grandchild and I thank GOD every day for the blessing he bestowed on us as a family ❤as we watch him grow into the most awesome young man…I am so sorry for all those mothers who have had to say goodbye too soon 🙏
I 3 kids 17,10, & 9 weeks and my last 2 are rainbow babies and i also have a 19 year gap between my last 2 and i also was 32 when i had my last but i turned 33 6 days later lol.. and she was also a month early and my 1st girl..
here I am again crying buckets over people I've never met. Hope everyone featured is doing ok. Emma and Clair are such lovely examples of an empathetic MCAs, I'd be so happy if I can get someone half as good as either of them if the time's ever right for me to cook up my own crotch goblin!
Emma, sooner or later you would have to face your loss. I had a child pass 4/1991. I can tell you it gets easier......it doesn't. But you go through so many years ( which is normal ) out of no where it will sneak up on you and think, I dealt with this loss years ago. And life will go on, you'll remember that it's 1 year that you thought of his passing. That's when you'll realize that it's been a long while since you were conscious of his passing. I promise it can all be what you believe. Evently they will be less. When I got to a point when I realized....he's inside me ( not in a weird way ) but instead of looking in my minds eye, where is he? I'm a believer in Jesus Christ so naturally I believed him to be with God but I was jealous, he's my son I want him with me. Eventually I could feel that he wasn't gone but he was with me, even though he was with God. I have the memories that he shared with me. Please try to look at the time of your pregnancy when you knew the whole part of him....fell in love with the.
I have miscarriage on 2005 then i got may and have miscarriage then September i have miscarriage yet i pray everyday good i haven't find how far long im i miss period November 2 i have little period October 3 to 5 little pink
In the US women are now not only consulting for the best nutrition [possible and using pack to detox their breasts they are detoxing their entire body prior to getting pregnant to improve their chance of giving birth to a live and healthy baby. I feel so fortunate that both of my son's were born safe and sound; both 8 lbs and 21 inches long. I was a Lamaze Prepared Childbirth mom so both of my son's were born without any medication and breastfed. This was my priority.
You're entitled to any type of birth you wanted. As a midwife, though,I feel it's essential to reiterate to other pregnant women that THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING PAIN RELIEF IN LABOUR. It doesn't make you worse as a person and , those who labour without drugs aren't deserving of any extra accolades! My first labour was 38 hours, with my baby in the wrong position. I had an epidural to assist him in moving , and assist me! My 2nd, I fully intended to be open to any eventuality!! As it happened, I had a very quick labour this time, so no time for pain relief. Both are absolutely normal and OK!!!!!
You can be the most physically prepared mother in the world and still lose a child. Being in good health is ideal simply to support the body. Claiming that detoxing or being on a special diet or WHATEVER (outside of actual medical care from a doctor) can help you prevent a loss is uneducated and harmful to loss mothers.
True, I was born with a full caul. Empathetic, very intuitive and psychic. But as I've aged, the psychic part is not as strong as it was younger. Not complaining either🤷♀️
@@marshahowes8756 I totally get the part about you as you have gotten older because when I was in my very young teens I was very Prenogitive and as I have gotten older I have lost alot.. I only have it with my very close family members or myself!! It has been nice to know what I had once heard to be true.. TY for replying back!!
I love this series but the whole mask thing is disgusting. No way i could have been in labor wearing a face nappy. Or having my husband being kept at a distance.
I’m sorry, but losing a pregnancy at 7 weeks is not that bad…. Many don’t even know we’re pregnant at 7 weeks. It would be a “blighted ovum” situation.. simply a disappointment that it was basically a false pregnancy… a hiccup. We should understand the process better, and to be thankful that our bodies are able to clear out non-viable zygotes. Understand the science and rational process. You’ll feel better. Also, it’s annoying when the fathers get subtle digs about being weak, or being only a “small part” of the process. Their genetics and DNA contributed exactly as much as the mother. The babies are theirs just as much as the mothers’ babies. The cheap shots and the overblown sensationalism is annoying.
I’m sorry, but have you personally been through it yourself? It doesn’t matter how far along you were, or how long you’ve known for. A loss is a loss, and it still hurts knowing that you have lost something that could have been. When you find out you’re pregnant you start to imagine what that child will be like, you get attached and then it’s ripped away from you. Maybe think first before posting such an insensitive comment. Tf is wrong with you
@@yociciii yes I’ve had 3 miscarriages, all before 11 weeks. It taught me that chromosomal abnormalities are detected by this point and the body does what it needs to do. Sad, yes. But all part of the process. It taught me never to get my hopes up, or tell family members, until I cleared the 13th week. It’s part of life. I realize this program wants to sensationalize the birthing process a bit. I suppose I’m a bit too pragmatic for most.
If I lost a child and the mid wife had tears too, i wouldn’t mind at all. Nice someone had empathy and feeling.
I would crumble too I’m 23 I’ve had 3 miscarriages 2 at 8 weeks and 1 at 12 weeks. God blessed me 3 years ago with a beautiful little girl.
Sending love ❤
Im so happy for you both

WOW that baby just splashed out across the bed, Tommy made a SPLASH in this world 😂
That was how I came out but my mum was one foot in, one foot out of the birthing tub 😂 luckily my dad caught me
Love how you follow your heart into a new career that means the world 🌎
This wasn't a permanent career change.
Making someone feel awesome......is a grate gift.
Ahh emma in this episode you show your Pisces side so much ❤❤❤
Love this and your emotions are beautiful
You could just as easily say a blessing baby .. A blessing after a loss, That's really what they're talking about
A rainbow baby is termed as such because they're like a rainbow that comes after a storm
Love you you are so real and caring and true to yourself truly admire you ❤❤❤
I so so so LOVE this show and of course Emma as well💯
Emma you are amazing in this episode
Love Emma so much ❤❤❤❤
We love her too!
Love this series! ❤
I must say Emma is a beautiful woman both inside and out. Her husband is a very handsome man and he seems like a sweet guy too.

This is beside the point….

I had had four miscarriages in three live birth and sometimes to this day I always wonder what those babies look like and their attitude
Emma Willis
Is this new or old? I feel like I've seen this before awhile back ago
New.
Perhaps a little crumble from the nurse would help validate the parents feelings.
I have miscarriage on 2005 then i got may and have miscarriage then September i have miscarriage yet i pray everyday good i haven't find how far long im i miss period November 2 i have little period October 3 to 5 little pink
Ridiculous how this season they blur everything.

What are rainbow twins ?
when a live baby is born after a stillborn baby, that's called a rainbow baby

Why are they calling the babies rainbows
People need to ask why so many babies are dying? This is unusual!
Not unusual, do check proper statistics before you comment
@@glynis7274 Not only babies but many people are dying! Yes, this is very unusual!!!
And to think about all the aborted babies. You have to wonder what is in this moms mind that she would kill her own child.
I love this series but the whole mask thing is disgusting. No way i could have been in labor wearing a face nappy. Or having my husband being kept at a distance.
Rainbow baby??? What does that mean??? They are either boys or girls!! That is just weird!!
A rainbow baby means a baby after Loss of a child noting weird about it it’s beautiful
Yes, like a rainbow 🌈 after the storm, aka the loss of a child during pregnancy or stillbirth.
