Country music star Amber Lawrence on pain of stillborn child

Australian country music star Amber Lawrence and husband Martin Newman are grieving the loss of their son Edward.

Amber had a stillbirth halfway through her pregnancy last month, detailing the ‘horrific’ pain in an interview with The Daily Telegraph’s Confidential on Monday.

The 42-year-old four-time Golden Guitar winner understandably said it was incredibly difficult for the couple to leave the hospital without their baby. 

‘Giving birth and leaving the baby there [at the hospital] is the most horrific thing,’ Amber told the publication.  

‘Walking out of the hospital while your baby is still there not breathing was so hard,’ she continued.

Amber and Martin cremated their son followed by a farewell ceremony.   

The artist, who suffered a miscarriage within the first 12 weeks of her pregnancy last year, added that they decided to reveal their heartbreaking news as it is such a significant loss to not address.

In an Instagram post on July 29, Amber shared a black and white photo of the couple with Edward, alongside an emotional caption.

Amber said that while they are ‘devastated’, Edward will always be their child.

‘I want you to know that we are okay, we are devastated to lose our beautiful baby boy, but we also know how many other families have to suffer through a similar devastation,’ she wrote.

‘It’s more than we realised. He will always be our baby, so loved and so wanted.’   

Amber wed Martin, who she met on Tinder in 2016, in a stunning ceremony in Port Douglas, in tropical far north Queensland, in May last year.

The couple are already proud parents to two-year-old son Ike.
