Jane, 43, said during Baby Loss Awareness Week: “The pain of having a ‘missed miscarriage’ will stay with me forever.
“My 3 months scan showed there was no heartbeat yet my body continued to be pregnant for some time. It was devastating.

“In time I learnt to talk and express just how broken I felt.”
