A WOMAN who lost her twins to stillbirth has been crowned in a national competition.

Louise Prashad, 31, who lives with her husband, Max, 36 in Easingwold, has been named Ms Crown & Glory United Kingdom

at a ceremony in Birmingham.

Louise, who is sponsored by Elegance Nails and Beauty by Dana in York, plans to use her title to focus on education around organ donation and supporting families affected by baby loss.

As The Press has previously reported, in 2016, aged only 21, Louise was diagnosed with a rare condition in pregnancy called AFLP – Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy.

She collapsed, and was rushed to hospital. Unfortunately, Louise and Max  would be told the devastating news that their twin babies, a son and a daughter, no longer had a heartbeat.

Louise was also experiencing severe organ failure, and had to undergo an emergency c-section with a ten per cent survival rate.
