Laura wrote: “Many of you have noticed that I’ve been very quiet here lately and to be honest I’ve been avoiding all my platforms.

“I share every part of my life with all of you, so it feels right to share our pain… I wanted nothing more to share with you than our little family was growing.

“I don’t think anything can prepare you for losing a little one, and even though our baby was still so little, it doesn’t make it any less difficult.”

She continued: “Not many people talk about miscarriage, and now I really understand how difficult it can be, but for me, it has helped me heal physically and mentally.

“We feel very positive about the future and I am very grateful to have Max by my side.”
