Gateshead parents who lost baby girl at 35 weeks pay tribute to daughter as they help others experiencing child loss

Grieving parents who lost their beautiful baby girl have paid a special tribute to their daughter as they aim to help others who experience child loss.

Lizzy Robinson and David McNestry, both 36, were overjoyed when they found out they were expecting their first child together in 2020 and said they "couldn't wait" for her arrival. But at 35 weeks pregnant, Lizzy was admitted to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) after experiencing a uterine rupture, which causes the uterine wall to tear open and requires immediate treatment.

And there was further heartbreak for the couple when they were given the devastating news that their baby girl's heart had stopped beating, moments before Lizzy was rushed in for surgery.
