I’m so sorry to be reading about the loss of their much wanted son, Jack.

They must be in so much pain.

I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge baby loss. This morning I’m thinking about all those who have experienced such heartbreak Flowers

I've just seen this, the pictures are absolutely heartbreaking. I've been following her stories on Insta for a few days, so very very sad for anybody to be going through such an awful experience.

Dillo10 · 01/10/2020 10:50

Oh God this is awful. I've followed her for years and I've been watching her stories throughout this whole pregnancy. So devastating.

Asterion · 01/10/2020 10:51

So very sad. Thinking of all those who have gone through this Flowers

ComDummings · 01/10/2020 10:54

It’s very sad and I’ve read some nasty comments about her and the photos they’ve shared which is awful. I think them being so open about their fertility struggles and the loss of their little boy Jack is amazing, it must be so difficult to go through so publicly but it may help others in similar situation, maybe to feel less alone.

TimInRuislip · 01/10/2020 10:56

I felt sick when I saw the news this morning. Such a devastating loss Flowers

FreeGlib · 01/10/2020 11:00

Bless them for sharing those pictures.

They must feel so alone, but their strength will make a lot of families feel less alone and feel more able to talk about their losses.

It'll be small comfort, but the love and support being sent their way is so genuine.

AriettyHomily · 01/10/2020 11:02

It's awful.

I think she has done a very strong thing sharing their story, and if people don't agree with it at least keep quiet.

I haven't had a late MC / still birth but I have had several MC and being able to read stories or find information about those who had been through similar was invaluable.

he more people talk the less taboo things are.

justanotherneighinparadise · 01/10/2020 11:02

I’ve lived pregnancy loss so many times and I wouldn’t wish the aftermath on my worst enemy. I hope she gets lots and lots of support.

TeddyIsaHe · 01/10/2020 11:07

It is just utterly, utterly heartbreaking. My stomach sank when I saw the news.

Losing a baby is a feeling I don’t wish upon anyone. Thinking of all who have felt this pain Flowers

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 01/10/2020 11:11

I thought it was incredibly strong of them both to share the pictures and hope it brings more support and openness around stillbirth and mc.

Flowers for everyone who has been through this and Star for the wee ones we didn't get to meet.

mynameiscalypso · 01/10/2020 11:15

The pictures they've shared are just heartbreaking. They're so brave to share them so openly and I hope they will make others feel less alone. My heart goes out to them and anyone who has experienced loss.

CaMePlaitPas · 01/10/2020 11:22

This is just heartbreaking.

SpaceOP · 01/10/2020 11:23

I also found it so heartbreaking. And I think they are a wonderful example of how using a public profile can really open people's eyes. Fertility struggles, miscarriage, loss etc is so often done behind closed doors and I suspect her grief and pain and willingness to share it will help a lot of other people.

I saw some horrible comments on her Twitter feed about the photos. It's so unnecessary.

ChrisPrattsFace · 01/10/2020 11:24

My heart hurts for them so much, I love that they’re so open. It will help people who may be struggling in silence.

Zug2 · 01/10/2020 12:09

It is heartbreaking and the photos show the grim reality of losing a baby. I admire them for posting those photos.

Rainbowsparklesdust1921 · 01/10/2020 12:32

I read about it in the paper, it's heartbreaking 💔 They've been some absolutely horrible comments on social media about them. It amazes me how cruel & disgusting people can be!

MrsWhites · 01/10/2020 20:27

Heartbreaking. I can’t believe that anyone could seek to judge someone going through what they are right now. There is no manual on how to grieve - we each find our own way through it 😢

JuiceyBetty · 02/10/2020 00:40

I’m heartbroken for them. And think it’s so brave she’s shared photos and been open about it.

turnitonagain · 02/10/2020 02:03

I cannot imagine their pain. I’d been seeing her posts about the complications but never imagined it would come to this Flowers

Couchbettato · 02/10/2020 02:55

Had to take a little break from work when I saw it on my phone earlier. Felt a bit breathless for them.

Very sad news

squeekums · 02/10/2020 03:43

Im not usually one for celeb stuff but this was really sad.
They seem genuinely lovely people and their bravery to show this is huge and will do so much good for other women.

FlyingSoloFlyingFree · 02/10/2020 06:56

I’ve been in that situation and it’s heartbreaking, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Got to say though the last thing I’d have thought of or wanted would have been to be photographed and to then share those pictures but I guess the celebrity world is very different from us normal people and if them having done so helps anyone I guess it’s a good thing.

Horsemad · 02/10/2020 07:02

I agree @FlyingSoloFlyingFree. I've experienced the same and photos of me were the last thing on my mind.

I would normally agree. However Baby Loss Awareness Week starts on 9th Oct. The week usually tries to raise awareness in many ways. Baby loss is way more common than you realise....until it happens to you.

I'm in that 'club' and won't judge anyone's actions whilst in that early grieving period.

mellongoose · 02/10/2020 07:08

Ps. I actually don't know who Chrissy and John are, neither have I seen their photos. So sorry for their loss.
