Hollyoaks actress Kirsty-Leigh Porter loves being a mum and her three-year-old daughter Nala Rai lights up her life. But Kirsty-Leigh's road to motherhood was traumatic and her heart was broken in 2018 when she lost her first daughter Penny-Leigh, 29 weeks and three days into her pregnancy. Dark days followed before she became a mum again.
Holding baby Nala in her arms almost two years later was a huge healing moment. Now Kirsty-Leigh would love to have “a truckload more children”. - but she’s too scared things will go wrong again to try for another baby.
“When I was pregnant with Nala it was just literally trying to get through each day,” she says. “I didn’t relax and enjoy it as much as I probably should have because it’s a blur. It was just trying to get through each day and just get her here safely.

It’s sad because I would love more children but I just don’t think I could put myself mentally and emotionally through that again. We’re left feeling lucky that we’ve got children. I always say I have one in heaven and one on Earth but both are in my heart forever.” Loneliness overwhelmed Kirsty-Leigh in the aftermath of Penny-Leigh's death.
In the end it was the support of strangers that helped her through, and the desire to make her daughter proud. “You never get over it, you never forget.
There’s always going to be a part of you that’s missing,” says Kirsty-Leigh. “I remember one day when I got up and I thought, ‘I can’t carry on like this any more, I have to do
