Two women who suffered ectopic pregnancies are now raising money for a charity that works with others who have gone through the same tragedies.
An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb, usually in one of the fallopian tubes, which leads to the egg having to be removed by either medicine or an operation. According to the NHS, around 11,000 pregnancies a year are ectopic.
Nikki Shields and Louise Zeniou have both had ectopic pregnancies, which led to them now representing CRADLE. This is a national charity working with healthcare professionals within the NHS, to support their pregnancy loss services.
