That must have been the hardest thing in the world to do, re enact losing a child when she actually had lost her own child 8 years ago.
I sobbed my heart out watching her on Corrie just then  |

"Didn't watch it but that happening must be the absolute worst. Couldnt imagine it. "
She must be so strong mentally to do that, bet it wasnt an easy storyline to accept. |

She asked to do it to raise awareness of infant loss |

I don't watch Corrie but I imagine the decision to do a difficult storyline using personal experience is partly to educate people and to share it so that people experiencing similar feel like there's people out there who understand. It's a tough call though, one I don't imagine she made lightly. Hats off.  |

What's hard to watch is your child come out via c-section and him not breath for 7 minutes 32 seconds... first time in my adult life I have
Ever felt fear. .. I can't imagine losing one, I have lost two... never got to see them but I seen and heard the heart beats
I'm done..... |

I couldn't watch it. I was just over 7 month pregnant when I lost my baby. I was involved in a road traffic accident. Watching corrie wound have been too much for me. I take my hat off to Kym Marsh though going through with the storyline because I know I wouldn't have been able to have done it |

Exceptionally brave of her to do that;
I hope it has the desired effect to raise awareness about this;
And help those who go through this;
This happened to a friend of mine many years ago; the sum total of help she got was the medical staff saying
" don't worry, love, you can always have another one"
Before they sent her home.

Not even my daughter |

It was so hard to watch but full respect to Kim and all the team at Corrie
As this thread shows, it's a very awful emotive situation for anyone to be in but has affected so many. Awareness and understanding can only be a good thing
Rip to all the angels gone too soon |

North of The Wall - youll need your vest |
Ive just been reading an article in the local news where the guy who plays Steve was saying that he and his wife had also lost 11 babies, one at 21 weeks. Must have been a very difficult for him as well |

I think sadly the default response is that it s the mother who needs the support and that the father forms part of that support. I paid a very heavy price for being the string one
This story line is such a good thing and all involved should be applauded, if it gets people talking even if that talking is as minimal as on this thread that is still a hufe positive. And if it helps 1 person on the future cope better then that is a pretty fucking awesome legacy to have been inspired by such tragedy |

It is a massive impact on both parents. So sorry for your loss. Let's hope it goes spark understanding conversations |

I don't watch Corrie but if they are featuring the impact for both parents, and the impact on their relationship over the coming year, then that's a good thing.
I've lost all but one of my 8 pregnancies and my one premature son didn't survive long. None of my relationships could survive the pain of those losses. It was much harder to get people to talk about miscarriage and premature deaths back then, let alone understand how devastating it is for the father as well as the mother.

Look at the Miscarriage Association and SANDS (Stillbirth And Neonatal Death Society) and Bliss.
There's help through the fora and support networks even if your loss was some time ago.
