188: The heart wrenching decision Sarra Riddick had to make to save one of her twins
from Motherland Australia · host Stephanie Trethewey
Sarra Riddick and her partner tried to have a baby for three and a half years, before she finally fell pregnant with their twin boys, Heath and Hunter, through IVF. But after a devastating 20-week scan, Sarra and Jarrad had to make the toughest decision of their lives, terminating one of the twins, to give the other the best possible chance of survival. Sarra had to go through an unimaginable emotional rollercoaster after birthing her boys, experiencing joy after welcoming Hunter, who was rushed to NICU, while at the same time, mourning Heath who was stillborn. Living on a farm a couple of hours from Perth, Sarra then spent nearly four months away from the farm in hospital until she could finally bring Hunter home. Sarra wants her grief to have purpose, as she puts it. She wants to help other families feel less alone, and she wants you to know that her story, although heartbreaking, does have a silver lining, including her miracle baby Ollie. This is her story.
