Mum heartbroken to lose girl at 31 weeks due to Covid has rainbow baby one year on

A mum has welcomed her rainbow baby into the world just a year after losing her daughter at 31 weeks when she caught Covid-19.

Megan Eatock, 25, originally from Bolton, but who now lives in Leyland, had a healthy first pregnancy last year, until she fell ill and started suffering with what she thought were Braxton Hicks - phantom labour pains. However, by the evening Megan had started bleeding and called her midwife - who asked her to come in immediately.

Tragically, Cassidy Rae, was delivered stillborn, by C-section on October 9. Parents, Megan and her partner, Jack Cudworth, were able to spend almost a week in the bereavement suite at Royal Preston Hospital with their daughter before having to go home.
