Irish influencer Dominique Nugent is being praised for opening up about her baby losses.
Dominique sadly suffered two pregnancy losses in recent years, with the influencer confirming she lost her baby girl at 16 weeks in 2024.
During a recent Q&A on Instagram, one of Dominique's followers told her she was feeling anxious about starting a family because she had also experienced baby loss.
However, Dominique shared some heartfelt advice with the woman and said she will remain hopeful about becoming a mum.
"Sorry to hear what you've been through. After my second one, we took a few months off from [trying to conceive] as I was just too sad and unable for another disappointment.
She continued, "I think if it gets too much, it’s a good idea to do this."
Dominique added, "It hasn’t been the easiest journey for the past couple of years, but I’ve been trying to change my mindset on it lately.
She said she still remains hopeful about motherhood despite the heartache she has endured.
"I’m feeling hopeful and thinking things will work out for us."
Last February, Dominique confirmed she had sadly lost her baby girl at 16 weeks.
On what would've been her daughter's due date, the influencer wrote:
"We should be taking you home from the hospital was what I thought today. Those newborn cries I’ll never get to hear, can’t hold your hand, dress you up or even do your hair, first words, first steps, first days of school- all so cruelly taken.
"Instead I have your memory box, the most valuable thing I own. Your tiny hand and footprints and the cardigan you wore, your teddy bear stand on my nightstand, and today I hold it near. How I wish it was you I had here."
