00:00And then Dad said, we won't be having a baby brother now because he has no heartbeat.
00:11All the kids were excited and Arlo was super excited to be a big brother.
00:17The girls every day, they're like, are you still at home?
00:19Yes, we're still at home.
00:20Is the baby coming?
00:21Not yet.
00:22Once Kylie went over 40 weeks, Wednesday was going to be the day that she was being induced.
00:30And she just said, oh, I'm so sorry, I can't detect a heartbeat here.
00:42Obviously, try and protect your kids from the best you can.
00:45Seeing the pain and the hurt, just, you know, you can't do anything to help them.
00:52It's just really hard because I was like really looking forward to it.
00:59I think they're very brave to be sharing their story.
01:05When people do share their story, they hear about other people's losses.
01:08And that may be for the first time that they've actually talked to other people about their loss.
01:14I asked the midwife, oh, what's that room in the garden room about?
01:17She said, well, that's the room where babies don't make it.
01:29It's the room where babies don't make it.
