Everything seemed to be going well for the couple as the pregnancy was deemed 'low risk' by doctors, reports Daily Mail.

To add to their hopes, the young expectant mother led a healthy life devoid of harmful indulgences like smoking.

"I took advice and never slept on my back.. I did everything right,' Tamsin said, unable to come to terms with the painful development.

However, everything came crashing down when Tamsin noticed that she could no longer feel the motions of her baby, whom they had named Elke.

Her mother quickly rushed her to the hospital where doctors conducted tests on her but they couldn't find the baby's heartbeat.

Despite conducting tests and an autopsy, doctors couldn't determine the cause of the stillbirth but found the placenta was 'small'.

"We were heartbroken. You have all these hopes, dreams and visions of what your life will be like with your baby and we were so close to having it all before it was ripped away," she said.

Tamsin added that she was in complete shock as she had only heard of stillbirth but never knew it would happen to her.

One of the most difficult moments for the couple was when they were given medication for Tamsin to take for three days before going back to the hospital for a natural birth.

She reveals that they locked themselves indoors for fear that those who had seen her pregnant would ask how far the baby was.

'It was a really challenging time because everything was ready - the nappies, the nursery, the seat in car, the hospital bag - we were ready to welcome her into the world," she recalled.
