Trigger Warning: This episode discusses baby loss.

This week on Mamma Social The Podcast, Lauren reflects on last week’s tyre trouble and gives a candid update on how Oax is adjusting to school—sharing both the happy moments and the challenges (including some intense screaming!). Kayleigh shares her experience attending a charity boxing match and the pair explore a thought-provoking question: Should parents lie to their kids to protect them or make life easier?

Special guest Elle joins the podcast for a deeply personal and important conversation in recognition of Baby Loss Awareness Week. Elle shares her heartbreaking story of losing her daughter, Giorgia, who was stillborn at full term in 2019. She discusses how she explained the loss to her 3-year-old son, the emotional journey of coming to terms with having no clear answers, and how she coped with the overwhelming grief.

Elle also talks about the support she received from Tommy’s, a leading charity dedicated to preventing baby loss, as well as her experience navigating another pregnancy while dealing with anxiety and fear. She offers practical advice for parents going through similar situations, such as taking one step at a time, and highlights supportive organisations that were crucial in her healing journey.

Elle stresses the importance of breaking the silence around baby loss—encouraging listeners to simply ask bereaved parents about their baby, listen to their stories, and be there for them.
