ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Content Warning: pregnancy loss and miscarriage are mentioned throughout this episode. Find mental health support for pregnancy loss at Postpartum Support International.
Pregnancy loss isn’t talked about enough, but it’s just as important to hear those stories as it is to hear birth stories. Many women struggle with their pregnancy loss alone and in secret. If we can all have a better understanding of what to expect and how to find support for ourselves or support those around us, we will all be better for it. Episode 42 of Poised & Powerful Podcast is sharing the holistic healing that is important after pregnancy loss!
