When Karina met her now husband Evan, they discussed on their first date the need for Evan to do IVF as he was diagnosed with testicular cancer at just 19 years old. Told he only had a few weeks to live, they took fertility precautions but it did not work.  He survived, what a miracle! But has always known he would not be able to have his own children.  Karina talks of their journey to IVF donor sperm, travelling interstate (VIC. legalities) to an unexpected stillbirth at full term!  Rafi & Milli dancing together in heaven today! x LITTLE LIFE BIG LOSS the podcast for grieving baby loss families 👼🏼❤️‍🩹🌹🙏🏽You can find more of Milli’s Mum & her Little Life Big Loss journey: Spotify: ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/31lshY9vY7ZMYn1uEn9X6k?si=0a6bb06bb7f74d18⁠⁠  YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKZB4PfSL7Gw_a6J51CSiqg⁠⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/rochelle.nicole.evrard⁠⁠  Instagram:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/rochelle.nicole.evrard⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/rochelleenicole⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ The opinions shared by guests on my podcasts are the opinions of those individuals and do not always reflect the same opinions of mine.

Alfie Bear - born at 23+ 3 weeks with an anterior placenta but otherwise perfect scans.  Gallbladder removed at 15 weeks pregnant after too many painful gallstone attacked.  This episode we talked about the effect of losing a child on our mind as a woman, the blame we put on ourselves and our body.

Wow what a story! Bec’s incredible strength - what her body has physically been through.  Birthing her baby Harrison in May and accidentally falling pregnant only 6 weeks later. Her short cervix wasn’t able to hold her beautiful bubba Archie and her waters broke at around 21.5 weeks. Bec talks so perfectly about how her 6 older children and step children are dealing with the grief, a grieving husband. How friends and family have done this well (and not so well)  Tips for midwives, a great OB, a beautiful funeral director - the list goes on. This is an educational piece for everyone to listen to!  Thanks Bec, forever in our hearts, little Archie  LITTLE LIFE BIG LOSS the podcast for grieving baby loss families 👼🏼❤️‍🩹🌹🙏🏽You can find more of Milli’s Mum & her Little Life Big Loss journey:Spotify: ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/31lshY9vY7ZMYn1uEn9X6k?si=0a6bb06bb7f74d18⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKZB4PfSL7Gw_a6J51CSiqg⁠⁠ ⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/rochelle.nicole.evrard⁠⁠ Instagram:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/rochelle.nicole.evrard⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/rochelleenicole⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ The opinions shared by guests on my podcasts are the opinions of those individuals and do not always reflect the same opinions of mine.

Kiki & her husband Tyler had a home birth planned from the start of their pregnancy. Kiki herself along with her sibling were born at home some 30 years ago, so this was a natural path to follow for her.At 20 weeks she registered with a hospital (just in case) however when needing to present to hospital after little Sprouts heartbeat could not be found at home, they presented to a different hospital therefore encountered delays and time restraints. Kiki relives their story with us.Kiki is currently pregnant with her second bubba and talks about her plans for this baby’s birth and what pregnant after loss is like.

Aimee is an Occupational Therapist who works with people who have had injuries at birth, never would she have imagined becoming a mother to a baby this happens to. But if so, she was prepared and the best person for the role of being Lawson's mummy. Sadly his injuries were so severe he only lived for 3 hours.  After a placental abruption, placental insufficiencies, hyper coiling of his cord, and an extremely traumatic vaginal birth including an episiotomy, vacuum and forceps, little Lawson's life was cut short. Aimee talks about postpartum without Lawson compared to postpartum with her precious little rainbow baby Banksie who was safely born just one year later.  Aimee is the beautiful woman I reached out to when I found out I wasn't bringing Milli home. She is a divine light and someone I respect a lot.  At the start of the podcast we discuss Aimee’s work as an OT and she wanted to add a better description of our discussion here: “cerebral palsy is brain injury or an abnormal brain development that can occur in before, during or after birth. The cause is mostly unknown but risk factors are infection when in utero (so like CMV), prematurity, low birth weight, prolonged oxygen loss during pregnancy, placenta insufficiency.”  If you wish to reach out to Aimee and join her support group on the Central Coast you can find her:@aimeee.taylor the support group can be found through @nurturemecentralcoast  LITTLE LIFE BIG LOSS the podcast for grieving baby loss families 👼🏼❤️‍🩹🌹🙏🏽 You can find more of Milli’s Mum & her Little Life Big Loss journey: Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/31lshY9vY7ZMYn1uEn9X6k?si=0a6bb06bb7f74d18⁠  YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKZB4PfSL7Gw_a6J51CSiqg⁠  TikTok:⁠ ⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/rochelle.nicole.evrard⁠  Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠https://instagram.com/rochelle.nicole.evrard⁠  Facebook:⁠ ⁠⁠https://facebook.com/rochelleenicole⁠  The opinions shared by guests on my podcasts are the opinions of those individuals and do not always reflect the same opinions of mine.

Wow! Hannah’s story is CRAZILY similar to mine. Where we birthed, the ambualnce, husbands driving up seperately. Baby in NICU, mother admitted as patient. Cooling mat for baby. The trauma, the unknown, the hell. This episode talks about the impact of trauma to her toddler also, the big sister of Imrie. What a divine little girl she is.   Hannah also speaks about pregnancy after loss and the birth of her 3rd child Oakey. POST LAUNCH EDIT FROM HANNAH: In this episode, we discuss that the main risk of a VBAC is placental abruption however it is actually a uterine rupture, which Hannah didn't suffer from. A placental abruption can happen at any time throughout pregnancy or labour. You can see all the incredible things Hannah is now doing  in the baby loss space: @ImrieMaecreative on Instagram or www.imriemaecreative.com  If you can support the show, I'd love for you to subscribe for only $1.99 per month.

WOW - this podcast has a LOT of swearing! I cannot believe the way this story unfolded.  I met Bianca through a Mum's and Bub's personal training group, having no idea she had experienced baby loss until we lost our very own Milli. Bianca found out very early on in her pregnancy that she had contracted CMV what unfolds over her 20 weeks of pregnancy and post-birth will blow your mind. (How she didn’t get paid mat leave because the hospital BACKDATED her babies birth so she was therefore not eligible to register her birth OR get mat paid leave - is just one part!)  This podcast is very educational. Link to the Instagram page we discussed in the show: https://instagram.com/cmvstopswithme?igshid=YzAwZjE1ZTI0Zg== If you can support the show, I'd love for you to subscribe for only $1.99 per month.

Wow! Today’s was so much great information from a midwife herself. Working in the industry, you’d still never imagine you’ll experience loss and trauma yourself. But Maddy did. Her second born, had a cord prolapse during labour. Being remote assistance didn’t come quick and sadly her baby Wren wasn’t able to stay on earth due to lots of complications. Maddy talks about all the wonderful things she’s done in the bereavement space in the name of Wren & her local community. She also talks about pregnancy after loss and her 3rd birth. Here are the books and links we spoke of during the episode:https://www.featheringtheemptynest.co.uk/Ask me his name A bump in the road https://www.theperinatallosscentre.com.au/https://www.cope.org.au/course/perinatal-loss-in-practice-what-hospital-staff-need-to-know/https://lindencookdesign.com/collections/new-impression You can find more of Milli’s Mum & her Little Life Big Loss journey:⁠https://linktr.ee/rochelleanddylan⁠Spotify - Little Life Big Loss ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/31lshY9...⁠YouTube: @littlelifebigloss Spotify - The Evolved Lifestyle: https://spotify.link/nU6M1i5muDbTikTok: ⁠https://tiktok.com/rochelle.nicole.evrard⁠ Instagram: ⁠instagram.com/rochelle.nicole.evrard ⁠ Facebook: ⁠facebook.com/rochelleenicole ⁠Get in touch: littlelifebigloss@gmail.com The opinions shared by guests on my podcasts are the opinions of those individuals and do not always reflect the same opinions of mine.
