Pregnancy Grief

Pippa Vosper tragically lost her son Axel in 2017, when she was five months pregnant, and has since written about baby loss online and in a series of pieces for Vogue.

It covers every aspect of pregnancy and baby loss at any stage, from the practical to the emotional, with advice from experts and stories from women who have experienced losses of their own.
