Podcasts about infant loss awareness month

This week, Jess gets her first real taste of morning drop-off panic when her child decides schedules are merely a suggestion. Meanwhile, Sonia has spent the weekend conducting an unsolicited investigation into why her body suddenly looked eight months pregnant and has identified her primary suspect: Sucralose intolerance. This naturally leads to gluten intolerance, maternity pants, 23andMe and the discovery that Sonia, Jess and several of their friends have Neanderthal DNA—which feels like an explanation for how things have been going lately. The girls also celebrate a very exciting ‘Geriatric' Mamas milestone: the Fertility After 35 Starter Guide is officially available in paperback on Amazon and digitally on the website—the guide they desperately wish someone had handed them before they started Googling fertility acronyms like their lives depended on it. Then Sonia and Jess talk about the increasingly complicated reality of sharing children online in the age of AI, a mom facing serious consequences after allowing her five-year-old to walk through their gated community to collect feathers, and what happens when a headline tells approximately 14% of a story. They also return to the Lindsay Clancy case following the mistrial and talk through their questions and reactions, before discussing postpartum mental health and a newer FDA-approved oral treatment for postpartum depression. Finally, the girls share what's coming to ‘Geriatric' Mamas for Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month this October, including special conversations centered around remembrance, support and the families who carry these babies with them.

A moment that is filled with both happiness and worry for future parents.对准父母来说，这是一个既充满幸福又夹杂着担忧的时刻。It's like we're having a baby. Social networks are filled with such videos.我们要迎来一个新生命了。社交网络中充斥着这样的视频。However, it's pretty hard to find stories from the other end of the spectrum: families talking about miscarriages.然而，要找到另一个极端的故事却相当困难，即那些谈论流产经历的家庭故事。Heather Hodnicki and her husband Joe, parents of a one-year-old boy, recorded this video when doctors told them Heather's second pregnancy is unlikely to be viable.Heather Hodnicki和她的丈夫Joe有一个一岁大的男孩，当医生告诉他们Heather的第二次怀孕不太可能成功时，他们录下了这段视频。A hematoma formed around the fetus, and at nine weeks Heather had a miscarriage.胎儿周围形成了血肿，到第九周时，Heather流产了。Instead of closing up, she started a blog on Instagram, where she shares her difficult experience.她没有封闭自己，而是在照片墙上开了一个博客，分享自己的艰难经历。It was a loss of a little life, and then I would relate to it. As you know it was a little soul that was with me, and I saw a heartbeat on the monitor, and then that little soul was gone.我失去了一个小生命，我对此感同身受。如你所知，那是一个曾陪伴着我的小灵魂，我在监视器上看到了心跳，接着那个小灵魂就消逝了。So talking to other women took the taboo. I mean, I know it's something that's very taboo to talk about.和其他女性谈论这个话题就成了禁忌，我知道这是一个禁忌话题，But in doing so, it made it easier for me to process the fact that it is a loss, and I am allowed to feel the emotions that I'm feeling.但这样做让我更容易接受失去的事实，而且我也被允许去感受自己当下的情绪。Out of every hundred pregnancies, about 10 to 15 end in miscarriages and a lot of women blame themselves.每100次怀孕中，大约有10到15次会以流产告终，许多女性会自责。Doctors say a miscarriage before the end of the first trimester usually means the embryo had chromosomal abnormalities.医生表示，在妊娠前三个月内发生的流产通常意味着胚胎有染色体异常。We've just gonna present next month a study on 55,000 patients that had miscarriages, and they had genetic testing on the miscarriage.我们将在下个月发布一项关于55,000名流产患者的研究，并对流产组织进行了基因检测。56 percent of the pregnancies that were lost were genetically abnormal.在流产的孕妇中，有56%是基因异常。Doctors say age plays a critical role. If a woman is in her 30s and has one or even two miscarriages, there can be a reason that is structural.医生说年龄起着至关重要的作用。如果一个30多岁的女人流产了一次甚至两次，可能有一个结构性的原因。In other words, like a fibroid, or can be immunological or homological, that could be a clotting disorder or an antibody, could be an infection, so there could be something that is really treatable.换句话说，可能像纤维瘤一样，可能是免疫问题，也可能是同源的，可能是凝血障碍或者抗体问题，也可能是感染，有些病症是可以治愈的。If a woman's in her 40s, then recurrent miscarriages are usually due to the eggs not being healthy, because when a woman's in her 40s, almost 90 percent of the eggs exit chromosomally abnormal.如果一个女人40多岁，反复流产通常是由于卵子不健康，因为当女性到了40多岁时，近90%的卵子会出现染色体异常。Doctors say that most women who have experienced a miscarriage will in time give birth to healthy babies, most of them without any special treatment.医生们表示，大多数经历过流产的女性最终都会生下健康的宝宝，其中大部分无需任何特殊治疗。I had a patient years ago. She came in and she was in her early 30s. She had 27 miscarriages and I said first I didn't believe her.几年前我有个病人。她来就诊时，大约三十岁出头。她经历过27次流产，起初我不相信她。I got all her records, went through them. They all had been documented.我拿到了她所有的记录，仔细查看了一番。所有记录都已存档。She had had most of the tests done and we completed the tests, and really in her case there were a few little things that were off but nothing major.她已完成大部分检查，我们完成了剩余检查，就她的情况而言，确实有几个小指标异常，但并无大碍。And after I got all her information, I said, "Can I ask you a question?" I asked her.等我了解到她所有的信息后 ，我问她：“我能问你个问题吗？”I said, "I've been seeing patients with miscarriages for many many years.我说：“多年来，我一直在接诊流产患者。I don't even, I can't even imagine how you can think about trying to have another pregnancy after having 27 pregnancies and 27 miscarriages."我简直无法想象，在经历了27次怀孕和27次流产之后，你怎么还会想着再去尝试怀孕。”And she said, "Dr Kutteh, I just know that. I'm gonna have a baby."她说：“库特医生，我就是知道。我会怀上孩子的。”And I said, "Well, as long as you're willing to still have hope and continue trying that, I'm willing to do everything that I can to help you."我说：“只要你愿意仍然抱有希望并继续努力，我愿意尽我所能帮助你。”And she eventually, with her next pregnancy, did have a pregnancy.最终，她再次怀孕时，确实成功受孕了。Three months ago, Heather gave birth to a healthy baby girl.三个月前Heather生了一个健康的女孩。Like many other women who have gone through a miscarriage experience, she calls her daughter a rainbow child, and baby Willow unknowingly helps her mom heal very fast.和其他许多有过流产经历的女性一样，她称自己的女儿为“彩虹宝宝” ，而小薇洛在不知不觉中帮助妈妈很快地治愈了心灵创伤。It's always emotional thinking about that baby that we lost.一想到我们失去的那个孩子，总是让人感慨万千。The best advice that I can give to women who are going through something similar is to reach out to your friends, reach out to your family, possibly reach out to your doctors, to see if they can give you any advice on who to turn to, who to talk to.我能给有类似经历的女性的最好建议是：向你的朋友求助，向你的家人求助，也可以向你的医生咨询，看看他们能否给你一些建议，告诉你该向谁求助、该和谁倾诉。Definitely, you know, talking it out with anybody I find helps.当然，我觉得和任何人把事情说出来都有帮助。

For the month of October, in honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, we will be sharing special interviews with Pamela Presler, LCSW, CPLC.In this episode, Pam shares an interesting phrase with us

Send us a textOctober is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and with it comes a deeply meaningful PAIL Mini Series here on How to Deal With Grief and Trauma.In this seventh and last episode of the PAIL Mini Series, we explore two central themes:how hope and grief can coexist — how life can slowly expand again without erasing love, andcompassionate insights on sustaining long-term support for grieving parents, reminding us that presence months and years later can mean even more than words in the early days.

“I want to be the light I wish I'd had in my darkest moments.” As we close out Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, we are sharing Abbie's two birth stories and honoring the memory of her firstborn, Rowan. Rowan was born prematurely via emergency Cesarean at 29 weeks during the height of COVID and passed several weeks later in the NICU. Abbie shares what it was like to come home from the hospital without a baby, the weight of overwhelming grief, and how self-care has helped her find healing. Her second pregnancy was labeled advanced maternal age and considered high risk. With the support of her care team, Abbie went on to have a healthy and empowering VBAC birth at 41 weeks that was filled with joy and deep healing.Professionally, Abbie is a massage therapist. She shares her tips around things like herbal support, massage therapy, and acupuncture. Abbie wants Women of Strength to know that acknowledging fear doesn't mean we have to act on it. “Be afraid when you're afraid, but do it anyway— whatever it is. Different baby, different birth.” Needed Website: Code VBAC for 20% OffThe Ultimate VBAC Prep Course for ParentsOnline VBAC Doula TrainingSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vbac-link/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Today's guest experienced two early miscarriages, and determined to become a mother lost over 130 pounds in hopes of reducing any barriers to having a healthy baby. Laura Gooch Brown was able to conceive a baby boy Jaden and during the last trimester they were diagnosed with Intrauterine Growth Restriction and Jaden would not survive. In this episode she recalls her specialists visits for different opinions and received the same prognosis. During a scheduled amniocentesis she learned that Jaden's heart had stopped and she had to deliver him the following day. Laura shares in this episode what it was like during her two year wait to conceive her rainbow baby boy Jordan, her pregnancy and delivery with him, and how she is giving back to her community by becoming a Sisters in Loss Birth and Bereavement Doula.

What if the most important step after pregnancy loss isn't “try again,” but being truly seen and given a thoughtful plan? In this special episode for Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, Dr. Monica Minjeur shares how restorative reproductive medicine supports women with cycle-informed evaluation, timed hormone labs, thyroid and insulin testing, male factor assessment, and screening for chronic endometritis—often missed in standard care. With compassion and clarity, discover how to build a plan that honors your grief while restoring your body's ability to heal and conceive.Key TakeawaysCompassion first: Honor grief, name the baby if desired, and move at your own pace.Cycle-informed evaluation: Use charting to assess ovulation return, luteal phase strength, fertile signs, and bleeding patterns (especially brown bleeding).Timed hormone labs: Check progesterone and estradiol ~7 days after ovulation to assess ovulation quality—not just “day 21” labs.Thyroid & insulin matter: Full thyroid panel (TSH, Free T4, Free/Total T3, antibodies) and insulin testing (fasting or OGTT with insulin).Screen for chronic endometritis: Especially if there's brown bleeding, early loss, or heavy cycles. Consider menstrual testing, biopsy, or hysteroscopy.Male factor is essential: Include semen analysis and DNA fragmentation testing, even if conception occurred.Re-testing is critical: Confirm improvements after treatment—labs, charting, and symptom resolution all guide timing.When to try again: A shared decision—emotionally ready, physically supported, with a clear plan for early pregnancy monitoring (HCG, progesterone, estradiol).If you've experienced pregnancy loss and feel like you're navigating it alone or without answers, we're here to help. At Radiant Clinic, we combine compassionate care with cycle-informed, restorative evaluation to create a plan designed for your body and your story. Schedule your free discovery call at radiantclinic.com

Send us a textOctober is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and with it comes a deeply meaningful PAIL Mini Series here on How to Deal With Grief and Trauma.In this third solo episode, we explore two central themes:Navigating the waves of grief, and how practical support really matters in easing the everyday load of life after loss.Grief moves like waves — unpredictable, powerful, and always changing.In this episode, we explore the emotional tides of pregnancy and infant loss and how understanding these rhythms can help both grievers and supporters find steadiness.I also shared practical, compassionate ways loved ones can help ease daily burdens when words aren't enough.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. In this episode, Sarah Piasecki—founder of Izzy Lee's—shares the story of her daughter Izzy, the heartbreak of stillbirth, and the healing that followed. If you've walked this road—or love someone who has—this conversation is for you. Together we talk about love, loss, and how Izzy's memory inspired a movement to remind parents they don't have to carry grief alone.Visit IzzyLee's: Best Organic Baby Blankets, Hats, Bibs, and Burp Cloths.Follow IzzyLeesKids on Instagram.Monitor your baby's movements with Count the Kicks.Find support and resources at Pregnancy after Loss Support (PALS).

If you've ever searched for pregnancy loss support and felt invisible when TFMR isn't mentioned, this episode is for you. Sabrina Fletcher (that's me, The TFMR Doula) gets real about what it means when baby loss spaces claim to be "for all" but never list termination for medical reasons alongside miscarriage and stillbirth. She shares practical suggestions for grief spaces that want to truly welcome TFMR families: from using the term explicitly in descriptions to moderating stigmatizing comments to highlighting our stories (even anonymously).This isn't about calling any groups or specific people out. It's about calling them in.Many broad loss spaces genuinely want to learn how to be better allies, especially during Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. If you've been looking for language to help others understand why representation matters, or if you run a space yourself and want to support TFMR families better, this episode gives specific steps forward. Because TFMR *IS* pregnancy loss, and we deserve to be named.START 1on1 SUPPORT NOW:

HEY, QUICK THING BEFORE WE START: If you're listening to this and you've ever thought "I want to support bereaved mothers but I don't know how to turn this calling into something real"—keep reading. I'm hosting a FREE masterclass on October 22 where I'm pulling back the curtain on how to go from "maybe one day" to "I'm doing this professionally now." It's called Loss to Purpose, and in 90 minutes I'm showing you: → The exact framework I use (and teach worldwide) to support pregnancy loss → Why you don't need to be "healed" or "perfect" to start → How to design YOUR unique offering while you learn (not 6 months after you finish) This isn't offered in any other pregnancy loss certification. Grab your free seat: https://www.sharnasouthan.com/loss-to-purpose-masterclass Alright, now let's get into today's episode about... _______________________ In this heartfelt solo episode, Sharna opens up about a recent application for the Pregnancy Loss & Trauma informed Practitioner Certification that moved her deeply and sparked an important conversation about purpose, calling, and legacy. While October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, bereaved families need support all year round—in February, in May on Mother's Day, in November, and on those unmarked due dates. This episode explores why one month of awareness isn't enough and how your experience of loss can become medicine for others. Sharna addresses a powerful truth: when we say no to ourselves out of fear or financial concerns, we're saying no to our baby's legacy and to all the families whose lives could be transformed by our presence. Key Topics Discussed Why pregnancy and infant loss support is needed 365 days a year, not just in October The ripple effect of transforming personal loss into professional healing work Understanding that your grief journey can become someone else's roadmap The real cost of saying no to yourself and your calling How to move past financial fears and explore possibilities The difference between awareness and specialized trauma-informed support Your experience as medicine that the world desperately needs Memorable Quotes "Your experience of loss has the power to be someone else's lifeline." "When you say yes to becoming a pregnancy loss practitioner, you're not just saying yes to learning skills. You're saying yes to becoming a conduit for transformation." "You have empathy that can't be taught in textbooks. You have presence that can't be learned from videos." "Every day you say no to yourself is another day that families who need you are still waiting." About Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month October 15th marks the Wave of Light, a global day of remembrance for babies gone too soon. This episode honours all families navigating the profound grief of pregnancy and infant loss while emphasising the need for year-round specialised support.

Remember when Kelly mentioned she might have had an allergic reaction to anchovies in Detroit? Well, it turns out she was onto something as it happened again and this time sent her to the ER! After some time at home recovering, she's feeling better and getting ready to get into her purse era as she has to start carrying an EpiPen wherever she goes. The time recovering also allowed Kelly to finally watch "The Summer I Turned Pretty" and she has some hot takes.

October is Pregnancy, Infant and Child Loss Awareness Month.  All month long we will honor our babies gone to heaven far too soon.   Have you heard of recurrent pregnancy loss? Recurrent Pregnancy Loss is defined by two or more failed pregnancies and is considered distinct from infertility. When the cause is unknown, each pregnancy loss merits careful review to determine whether specific evaluation may be appropriate, and after two or more losses, a thorough evaluation is warranted.  Today's guest experienced 5 miscarriages after having her baby girl, one being an ectopic pregnancy where she lost her fallopian tube, and then was diagnosed with secondary infertility.  Anesha Stanley's first pregnancy ended with a miscarriage in 2014. Three months later she found out she was pregnant with her rainbow baby girl, Sinai. She waited two years before trying to conceive again. In 2017 we began experiencing recurrent pregnancy losses. Miscarriage #2 on January 14, 2017. An ectopic pregnancy #3, November 1, 2017 was treated with methotrexate. Anesha went onto experience two more losses and was diagnosed with secondary infertility and tubal failure.   In this episode, Anesha takes us back to what it was like experiencing the highs of finding out she was pregnant and the lows and pain of miscarriage.  She shares how she felt after being diagnosed with secondary infertility and tubal failure, and how and why she started her non profit Keys of Hope Foundation and became a Sisters in Loss Birth & Bereavement Doula.
