Description

In this episode, I share the next chapter of our story.

I talk through the weeks after our first miscarriage, getting pregnant again, and then finding ourselves heartbroken allover again just a few months later.

I go into the fear, the medical trauma, the loneliness of going through all of this during COVID, and the months of trying to conceive that followed; months that felt relentless, confusing, and all consuming.

I also talk about the grief I didn’t realise was grief at the time, share the things I didn’t understand, and the things I only see clearly now, looking back.

If you’re going through anything similar, I hope this episode helps you feel seen, even just a little.
You are not alone.

Your feelings are valid.

Your grief is valid.

And you deserve support and compassion every step of the way.

Please note: There are mentions of fertility struggles, pregnancy, and loss so do listen gently and take care of yourself as needed.

💛 As always, if you’ve been impacted by any kind of pregnancy loss, please know you are not alone.

Support links and resources are included in the show notes.
