S11 - E10 - Sian TFMR, T21/Downs Syndrome

Ooof, this is an emotional one people. 

This week we chat to Sian Gardner https://www.instagram.com/flicks_and_red_lips/ We last had her on the podcast back in season 8 (no one can remember the episode number, but it was forty something) 

In our previous episode, Sian talked about the loss of her baby boy, Chase to a TFMR (termination for medical reasons) 

Since we recorded, Sian has gone on to experience another TFMR with her daughter Aubrey. 

In this epsiode, we talk about the strength of the TFMR community, the help that Sian has sought out and received and the pain of losing a second child in this way, alongside the joy she was able to find during her pregnancy and birth with Aubrey. 

This is a hugely personal and emotional episode, but one that is full of inspiration and beauty. 

There’s support for TFMR out there - here are the resources we cover in this podcast episode.
