Mother speaks of heartbreak after four miscarriages that doctors could not explain

A mother has spoken of her heartbreak and confusion at suffering four miscarriages that doctors could not pinpoint a reason for. Sinead Lynch, 33, suffered her third loss in the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, when her unborn child - who she named Rían - passed away at 20 weeks.

Sinead, from Stockport, had lost two babies prior to Rían, with baffled doctors unable to identify a cause. She told Manchester Evening News: “It was just hopelessness. I couldn’t believe it had happened again. I thought, ‘How are we going to tell people?’, you don’t want all this pity from everyone, but you know you have to tell them again.”

Sinead and her husband Dan welcomed the arrival of their now six-year-old son, Jonas, in 2016. The pregnancy was healthy and the couple experienced no issues. In 2018, the couple fell pregnant again, naming their unborn baby girl Pearl. But Sinead and Dan found she had passed away at their 20-week-scan.
