Dani Paranthoiene and her husband Frank had everything ready to welcome their baby girl including little onesies, blankets and her crib.
But at 32 weeks pregnant, Ms Paranthoiene suffered a placental abruption - a complication where the placenta separates from the uterine wall before birth - leading to the stillbirth of her daughter Bonnie.
"We had just celebrated our baby shower the week before and I had been given so many presents," she told AAP.
