"I think anyone who's gone through this experience can relate to the fact that you kind of go through this grieving, a mourning of your relationship with your firstborn because it's never gonna be the same.

"You're never gonna get this time with them in this special way," she explained.

Bargh added it was "just a very strange feeling as a mother when you just realise and you just take into consideration their feelings, and I'm sure it's gonna be hard for him."
