"Suddenly, you're not pregnant any more yet everything in your life has changed." Lisa Francesca Nand

As many as one-in-four pregnancies ends in miscarriage and yet it still remains a taboo subject. In this intimate, self-shot documentary Lisa, a freelance TV producer and presenter, and David Kirk challenge that taboo by sharing their personal story as they bid to overcome five miscarriages and undergo treatment in an attempt to build their family.

First Heartbeat also presents a rare glimpse into the father's perspective of experiencing loss and the emotional fallout and struggle experienced by many couples following a miscarriage. It makes for powerful, unapologetically honest and life-affirming viewing. 

Lisa said: “We need to be able to talk about miscarriage and the work still to be done to make sure people get the support they need. That is why I wanted to share our story, and the story of many.”
