In Home and Away, Ziggy has had a few health scares during her pregnancy, but she has not yet lost the baby, even after her fall down the stairs.
There are many reasons why Home and Away has continued to be one of the most popular Australian soap operas to this day.
One of the current reasons why viewers keep tuning in is to watch Ziggy and her pregnancy journey. The latest scare in this pregnancy happened after Ziggy took a fall down some stairs, but fortunately, she did not lose or hurt the baby.
Do people still watch Home and Away?
Home and Away was first introduced to Australian audiences on the Seven Network in January 1988, and it has been one of the most popular soap operas in Australia, the United Kingdom, and other parts of the world ever since.
Even though this soap has been on the air for over three decades, it still pulls in about a million viewers per episode in Australia and it has stood the test of time.
There are many reasons why people still watch Home and Away to this day, although some of the top reasons include elements like the show’s trademark over-the-top drama, the unpredictable storylines, the beautiful scenery, and the fact that viewers have been able to form a bond with their favourite characters and their story arcs over the years.
Home and Away: Does Ziggy lose the baby?
Ziggy “Zig” Astoni, who is portrayed by Sophie Dillman on the show, is one of the characters that viewers of the show feel a real connection to.
However, even though Ziggy is one of the most beloved characters on the show, sometimes it seems like her life just will never go the way she plans.
Shortly after she is encouraged by her boyfriend, Dean, who is played by Patrick O’Connor to pursue her dream career as a professional surfer and her standing starts to improve, she finds out that she is pregnant, and that she will have to put competitions on hold once again.
Then, Ziggy feels like she needs to hide her pregnancy from everyone, despite the fact that her morning sickness is getting worse, when Justin offers her a promotion at the garage.
This leads to a couple of scares for both Ziggy and the baby’s health as she continues to push herself to work as if she is not pregnant at all.
However, the biggest scare to the baby’s health comes in episode 7924 of the show, which aired on 3 November 2022, when Ziggy takes a tumble down some stairs following an argument with Dean over potential baby names.
Ziggy is kept in the hospital overnight, but the baby seems to be fine, however, with all of the health scares that Ziggy has had throughout her pregnancy, it is very likely that this is not the last time that viewers will be scared about Ziggy potentially harming or losing her baby.
Why does Ziggy continue to try and do it all while she is pregnant?
Even though fans of Home and Away know Ziggy to be rather determined to live out her dreams, this has caused her to overextend herself early in her pregnancy already and it has put her health and the health of her baby at risk.
The reason why Ziggy tried to continue to work and chase her dreams even though she has had pretty bad morning sickness and dizzy spells during her developing pregnancy may puzzle some viewers.
Sophie Dillman, who plays Ziggy, has explained that she thinks that Ziggy has just not accepted that her life is going to be changing. She is still in denial about her pregnancy at this stage in the show.
Which other health scares has Ziggy had during her pregnancy?
The first time that viewers of Home and Away were worried that Ziggy may lose her baby the way they were after her fall, was during a dizzy spell that she had in the garage.
During this dizzy spell, Ziggy passed out on the floor due to inhaling fumes from a solvent which she accidentally left open, but fortunately, she and the baby recovered after they were found by Tane.
Why was Ziggy kept in the hospital overnight if she did not lose the baby?
When Ziggy was admitted to the hospital after this fall where there was a risk that she could have lost the baby, Dean’s actions made Bree think that he was abusing Ziggy.
This is why she kept Ziggy overnight for observation even though she did not lose the baby, so that she could contact the authorities to have Dean investigated for domestic abuse.
