20. Navigating Miscarriage: My Story and How To Understand and Support Women
Description
Today we’re going to talk about miscarriage. October is pregnancy and Infant Loss awareness month. My hope in this episode is to share my story and thoughts so that you can better understand what it’s like. We'll also talk about some advice on how to console those who have experienced the unfortunate loss of their child too early.
SHOW NOTES
"Even though I have a beautiful baby girl already, seeing accounts online, new mamas or expecting mamas in person or out in the community just reminded me of what I lost."
"How could this have happened. How could my body have failed me like this- and not just failed me, but failed my baby."
"But the other half of me was terrified to get pregnant again because of the fear that I might have to suffer through something like this again. I almost feel like I’d just expect something to go wrong."
"But that’s just not true. We’re not alone and the more we talk about it, the less we’ll feel alone and the more people will understand and it won’t seem so taboo."
