After experiencing two missed miscarriages, filmmaking couple Bophanie and Ben Lankester (@ben.lankester) decided to channel their trauma into something positive. Through their production company they approached Tommy’s with the idea for 'Who's Counting?', a short film telling the story of a couple who have to endure the emotional and physical trauma of successive losses before they can receive support. To create the film, Bophanie & Ben brought together a team of people affected - or close to those affected - by pregnancy and baby loss. The making of 'Who's Counting?' has led to Tommy's creating the 'Record of Loss', where parents who have experienced miscarriage are being encouraged to add their names to the database and be part of the very first attempt to count the number of miscarriages in the UK, in order to present the scale of the problem and change policy. Add your name to Tommy's Record of Loss - actions.tommys.org/a/record-of-loss Watch the film here: https://vimeo.com/654495916--------------------------------Thanks for listening to the podcast.

In this episode we chat to Shaun aka @knackered_knackers. He started his account last year and sharing his own story has been a great support to men who are experiencing male factor infertility. He chats very openly with us about his diagnosis of azoospermia and how he and his wife went on to use a sperm donor to conceive their twins. Apologies for the shite sound quality again but we have learnt our lesson and promise future episodes will be better. This guy is a bloody gem and we know that so many of you (men and women) will find this episode really helpful.

Louise talks to us very openly about her unplanned pregnancy which ended at 6 weeks with emergency surgery. We talk about the conflicting emotions that surround unplanned pregnancies. Unplanned does not mean unwanted. She went on to have another miscarriage after this and felt differently about that loss. Louise shares honest thoughts and feelings with us (most of which she has not told her nearest and dearest) in an attempt to help others feel less alone in their experiences. Thank you Louise, we know this will help so many.--------------------------------This episode of TWGGE is sponsored by Merci Maman.

Frankie's first baby, Esme, was stillborn in September 2013. Having to break the news to youngsters within the family was made harder by the lack of a children's book that she felt could adequately explain what had happened. She also wanted more guidance as to how she could retain Esme's place in the family in positive and special ways. She was inspired to write These Precious Little People, and the safe arrival of Esme's two siblings only cemented her desire to provide a resource to families that would do credit to how precious these little people really are. She connected with @gilliangambleartist, an experienced, incredibly talented & generous illustrator, and had the backing of @joeltcp (a wonderful charity that receives all proceeds from sales of the book); both supported Frankie’s dream & helped bring These Precious Little People to life. --------------------------------This episode is sponsored by Carat London.

We see you, we've got you xIt was a real pleasure to chat to Sam Woolford for this podcast episode. He shares with us his experience of losing daughter Etta shortly after birth and he talks openly about the complex emotions and how he coped as a man as well as how him and wife Emily coped as a couple.  Sam is a bit of a ledge, although don't tell him we said that, it'll go to his head. Supported by wife Emily, he set up a SANDS football team for bereaved fathers and the work he is doing is fantastic at providing a support network for this who are usually the forgotten ones when it comes to grief after baby loss.  You can find more about the team by heading to their website and following on instagram. Have a peek at the great work Sam is doing or get in touch if you are interested in setting up your own team in your local area.--------------------------------Thanks for listening to the podcast.
