A Belfast mum has spoken about the heartache of losing her twins born prematurely as a way of raising awareness of the impact of baby loss, and to let others know there is help out there.
Charlotte Pollock, 40, found out she was pregnant for the first time five years ago and was "completely shocked" to discover she was having twins. As the news started to sink in, she and her partner attended the 20 week scan, found out everything was fine, and they were going to have a son and daughter.
She said they were "excited and overjoyed" as they prepared to have their "perfect little family." However, a few weeks later Charlotte started to feel unwell, and attended hospital to discover she was in early labour.
