Content warning: This podcast contains graphic descriptions that some people might find difficult.

Kate Gudsell and Sam Arcus were married in November 2015 and just a few weeks later discovered they were pregnant with their first child. After a textbook pregnancy, Kate went into labour and then things began to go awry.

In The Unthinkable, a five-part podcast series made and hosted by Susie Ferguson, Kate and Sam share their story of loss and grief but mainly it's a tale of love, the big, enduring love of parents for their child.
