According to March of Dimes, "Miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy in the womb before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Some women have a miscarriage before they know they’re pregnant.We don’t know all the causes of miscarriage, but chromosome problems are often to blame. It can take weeks to months or more for a body to recover from a miscarriage. It may take longer to recover emotionally." (marchofdimes.org) In this episode, I sit down with Brooke Lawrence, who shares her story of working through miscarriage. She and her husband live in Bakersfield, California, with their 18month old son. Brooke is vulnerable, honest, and bold as she shares how she navigated through not one but two miscarriages. This is such a sensitive topic, and I am grateful to Brooke for trusting me. If you've experienced miscarriage, please know your story is real, and your emotions are valid, and your baby is loved.
