This week we talk to Suzanne from Galway about her baby’s diagnosis of T21 and high drops. Suzanne had to have additional scans during her pregnancy because medical professionals ‘hoped’ her baby would die naturally, to prevent her from travelling to England for a termination for medical reasons. This was not the case & the day before she was due to fly, the hospital cancelled her appointment because a lift was broken and then, when she arrived in Liverpool, she was told that they didn’t have a surgeon and would need to be transferred to Middlesborough. All this while trying to navigate the devastation of knowing that she wouldn’t be bringing home her baby. During the transfer, she was asked to take a box with her and later discovered that inside the box were the instruments that were needed to carry out her termination. This is a devastating story and a clear demonstration of the pain caused by current abortion laws. Taboo exists, and Suzanne highlights this bravely and articulately. During the episode we speak about a support group that Suzanne has found huge comfort in, "Let Me Choose" or Leanbh mo Chroí - they can be found at https://lmcsupport.ie/aboutWe are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation.

How do we advocate while protecting our wellbeing? and how to navigate the fear of judgement. There's also some singing and some laughter - although Bex's rendition of 'Earth song' was so bad that our editing software recognised it as unwanted background noise so we're afraid that didn't make it to the final cut - she's happy to voice note anyone who wants it. If you have any questions for the next 'community questions' episode, please email them over to us at info@twgge.co.uk - with 'community questions' in the subject line.

* Trigger warning - Prenancy after loss and motherhood discussed during this episode*In this episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, Bex, Laura, Anastasia Shubareva-Epshtein , and Anna Whitehouse (aka Mother Pukka) sit down for an honest, no-filter conversation about pregnancy, motherhood, and the parts we’re so often expected to carry quietly - miscarriage, grief, and life after loss.Anastasia shares how her own journey through IVF and loss led to the creation of Carea, an app designed to support women through pregnancy in a way that reflects real life, not just milestones and happy endings. She talks about how many pregnancy apps fail women the moment things don’t go to plan, leaving them feeling unseen and alone at a time when support matters most.Together, they explore the pressures placed on mothers to “bounce back”, the way postpartum struggles are minimised, and why silence around miscarriage causes so much harm. The conversation centres on the power of community - of being believed, understood, and supported without having to explain yourself.This episode is a reminder that motherhood isn’t one-size-fits-all, grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and healing starts when we’re allowed to tell the truth.💬 Key TakeawaysCarea was created from lived experience - IVF, loss, and navigating pregnancy after trauma.Many pregnancy apps ignore emotional realities when things go wrong.Women need spaces where their full experiences are welcomed and validated.Postpartum struggles are often dismissed or minimised by society.Community and peer support can ease isolation and shame.Shared experiences help women feel less alone in their grief.Maternal mental health education is still deeply lacking.Partners play an important role in holding grief together.Safe spaces allow women to speak freely, without judgement.Breaking the silence around miscarriage is essential for healing.https://www.careaapp.com/@careaapp on InstagramWe are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation.

In this episode, Laura & Bex sit down with Katie Rose, a miscarriage doula, to talk about the reality of pregnancy loss and the quiet, powerful role doulas play in supporting women through it.Katie shares how her own experiences of loss led her into this work, and why she felt called to support others during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. She speaks openly about the emotional complexity of pregnancy after loss - the fear, the hyper-vigilance, and the pressure to appear “okay” when you’re anything but.Together, the girls and Katie explore the themes that come up time and time again in grief: isolation, silence, and the expectation for women to move on before they’re ready. Katie talks about the importance of truth-telling - of allowing space for anger, sadness, relief, confusion, and everything in between - and how real healing starts when women are supported to feel, not fix.This conversation is a reminder that no one should have to carry loss alone, and that being truly seen and held can make all the difference.Katie can be found at www.katierosedoula.com@katierosedoula on Instagram We are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation.

In this episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, Bex & Laura sit down with Kelly, the founder and CEO of Making Miracles to talk about the life-changing experience that led to the creation of this incredible charity. Kelly shares the terrifying moment she learned her unborn daughter had a serious heart condition, and how from that point on, pregnancy became a constant state of fear. What should have been a joyful time was instead filled with hospital appointments, uncertainty, and the overwhelming feeling that everything could fall apart at any moment.Kelly opens up about how isolating trauma can be - especially when you don’t want to “burden” others or don’t know where to turn for support. From those darkest moments came a deep understanding of just how broken the system can feel for parents navigating high-risk pregnancies and baby loss.Out of that pain, Making Miracles was created. What began as Kelly’s own way of surviving became a lifeline for others. The charity now offers emotional and therapeutic support for families at every stage - from pregnancy, to loss, to life after. This conversation is about fear, survival, community, and making sure no one has to feel as alone as Kelly once did.https://makingmiracles.org.uk/We are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation.

In this episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, Maëla shares her story with honesty, courage, and a depth that stays with you long after the conversation ends. She opens up about experiencing multiple miscarriages, the quiet devastation that so often gets minimised, and the way women are expected to carry on as if nothing happened.Maëla takes us through the moment her pregnancy changed forever, when she received a life-altering diagnosis for her unborn child - complete AVSD - and the impossible reality of making a decision no parent should ever have to face. She speaks candidly about termination for medical reasons, the layers of grief that followed, and the added weight of societal judgement that so often surrounds these experiences.Alongside her personal loss, Maëla reflects on returning to work as a midwife, where holding space for others while tending to her own grief was both deeply challenging and unexpectedly grounding. She also names the impact of systemic racism within maternal healthcare, and how being a woman of colour intensified the barriers she faced - from pregnancy care to accessing mental health support after loss.This episode is a powerful reminder of why these conversations matter. It’s about resilience, about being believed and supported, and about the absolute necessity of compassionate, inclusive care. Above all, Maëla’s story speaks to the importance of community - of finding people who understand, who don’t judge, and who will sit with you in the hardest moments.We are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation.
