Presenter and journalist Anna Whitehouse has opened up about a little-known phenomenon that helped offer some comfort after experiencing multiple miscarriages.

During an appearance on the CBeebies Parenting Helpline podcast, Anna (known as Mother Pukka on social media) said she was “woefully” unprepared for losing a baby, as it’s not something touched upon in school or spoken about in society.

Candidly sharing her experience, Anna........
