• S9E22: Stillbirth at 24 Weeks: Georgie’s Story of Loss, Negligence and Survival

  In this powerful episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, hosts Bex Gunn and Laura Buckingham speak with Georgie, former Great British Bake Off contestant, neonatal nurse, and bereaved mother, about her raw, unfiltered journey through stillbirth, miscarriage, baby loss, ADHD, and life after unimaginable grief. Georgie shares the heartbreaking story of losing her daughter Avery at 24+6 weeks during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic — a loss she believes could have been prevented if her concerns had been listened to. As a neonatal nurse who had saved babies younger than her daughter, Georgie’s insight into medical negligence, maternal instinct, and the failures in perinatal care is both devastating and eye-opening. We explore: Stillbirth at 24 weeks — warning signs, reduced fetal movement, and why maternal gut instinct matters. Hospital negligence and baby loss during COVID-19 — and why many mothers feel unheard. Life after losing a baby — anger, guilt, and the long road to emotional survival. ADHD in women — how a late diagnosis reshaped Georgie’s understanding of herself. Grief and parenting after baby loss — raising surviving children while carrying trauma. Why ‘everything happens for a reason’ is the worst thing you can say to a grieving parent. This is an episode about speaking up, breaking the silence, and refusing to accept that baby loss, miscarriage, and stillbirth should remain taboo. Georgie’s story is one of pain, survival, and finding a way forward when you feel you can’t take another step. Whether you are a bereaved parent, navigating pregnancy after loss, living with ADHD, or supporting someone through infant loss, this conversation offers honesty, validation, and hope.

But nothing could prepare her for the unimaginable: the stillbirth of her baby boy. Now, grief carves a hollow space where joy once lived, and love ― so fierce, so fragile ― teeters on the edge. Nothing adds up anymore. Not the life she had. Not the future she imagined. Told with quiet strength and breathtaking honesty, This Wasn’t Meant to Happen is a searing but beautiful portrait of love, grief and the tender, complicated path back to hope.
