Podcasts about Pregnancy loss

Kaitlyn Braun spun an elaborate web of lies, convincing over 50 doulas she was pregnant after a traumatic assault. Her deception confused and shattered trust in the doula community, leaving many unsure if they could continue their work. Journalist Sarah Treleaven spent over eighteen months investigating Kaitlyn’s unusual story and the motives behind it. She brought these stories to life in her podcast, The Con: Kaitlyn’s Baby, where she details speaking to the doulas who were tricked, lied to and left disturbed by Kaitlyn's actions. The question remains: why did Kaitlyn do it — and is her deception finally over? Listen to The Con: Kaitlyn’s Baby here. Warning. This story and this opening scene feature descriptions of pregnancy loss and stillbirth.

In today's episode, I'm diving into the fascinating world of genetic testing for fertility, unpacking the differences between traditional genetic carrier screening and the innovative Grow Baby Genetic Test. While carrier screening is a powerful way to discover if you or your partner carry hidden genetic risks for serious inherited conditions, what if you could go even further? That's where the Grow Baby Genetic Test comes in.  Unlike standard carrier screening, Grow Baby zeroes in on your own genetic blueprint, maternal health and pregnancy optimization by analyzing key genes that influence your fertility, hormone balance, nutrient needs, and pregnancy health. Whether you're just starting your fertility journey or in the thick of it and experiencing recurrent loss or preparing for fertility treatment, this episode will show you why this affordable genetic test is more than just a precaution, it's your roadmap to confident, empowered pregnancy planning.

In this deeply personal episode, host Sharna Southan opens her heart to share the profound "why" behind writing her upcoming book on pregnancy loss support. Moving beyond logistics and outlines, Sharna takes listeners into the defining moment that changed everything—walking into an ultrasound room pregnant and leaving empty, only to discover that the silence and dismissal that followed was almost as devastating as the loss itself. This isn't just another story about grief; it's a call to action for systemic change in how we support women through reproductive loss. Key Topics Covered: The Defining Moment The ultrasound experience that changed everything What medical professionals don't tell you about pregnancy loss The physical reality: contractions, clotting, and trauma no one prepared her for The emotional aftermath of medical dismissal The Systemic Problem: Why we don't just have a grief problem—we have a training problem How professionals want to help but lack the proper tools The silence that surrounds pregnancy loss experiences Why women are walking through devastating moments without adequate support The Solution: A New Approach The Pregnancy Loss Recovery Method taught internationally Training professionals to hold space for grief that "bleeds" Language, tools, and frameworks for better support Understanding pregnancy loss as postpartum experience Who This Book Is For Women feeling broken and bleeding in silence Partners who feel invisible in their grief Professionals who want to help but feel helpless Anyone who's felt dismissed after pregnancy loss The Instagram to watch the book journey unfold: Loss Support & Certifications: @insitituteofhealing.losssupport Connect with Sharna: Apply for the Certification: Here Biz Mentorship: @instituteofhealing_pl Podcast: @pregnancyloss_podcast Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify For those seeking guidance and support, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone, and there are resources and communities ready to help you through your healing journey.

From gender disappointment to pregnancy body changes, from worries about dividing love and attention to preparing for a second delivery — this episode is a heartfelt, honest look at motherhood in all its complexity. Join Rachel and Renda (her OB/GYN mom and co-host) for an open, tender, and relatable conversation you won't want to miss.

I'm back and with a mini "rebrand"...At a Total Loss is now Living the Loss Life because well, that's what I'm doing every single day and I'm here to share it with you.When I first hit record, I was drowning. I had just lost Brody only 4 months prior. I was raw, wrecked, and trying to survive the total devastation of stillbirth. That title—At a Total Loss—fit where I was. But grief doesn't stay in one place...and neither do we.In losing him, I've also gained so much:Perspective. Purpose. A community. A deeper love. A different version of myself.So it's time, for the podcast to evolve, too.In this episode I fill you in on what's been happening since I took a mini break (whoops) and what's happening next. I had a wild experience in Albania and I finally tell Wolfy's birth story since he turns TWO YEARS OLD on June 6th! holy moly. All of this is to let you know you're not alone no matter what stage you're in. Thank you for staying on this path with me. We're still grieving. We're still healing. But now we're living even though we've lost.

A few months ago, our guest today, the founder of Cycle Seeds Iris Josephina Verstappen, was hosting a retreat in a goddess temple in Malta when she began to miscarry. Having accompanied many women through pregnancy loss, both as a doula and a holistic hormone and cycle coach, she's witnessed the storm of emotions that can arise with miscarriage, as well as the taboo surrounding it. So she decided to publicly share about her experience with her 60,000 followers, to be a permission slip for others, so that they don't have to suffer in silence. In our conversation Iris shares generously and vulnerably about how she has navigated the grief, loneliness, confusion and earth-shaking fear that it could all happen again, as well as the paradoxical feelings of love, possibility, and gratitude for how the experience of pregnancy opened her up. Our hope is that if you're one of the one in four women and people who experience pregnancy loss, this conversation helps you to feel less alone with whatever you're feeling. We explore:The imposter syndrome that arose for Iris when she tried to go back to work, and found herself questioning how this could have happened to her when she was doing everything “right”, especially as an educator in the field of cyclical living and women's health, and how the antidote was simply to lie with her belly flat on the earth. The lack of community support around grief and loss, but especially in the post-partum window after miscarriage where the body is still recovering from the pregnancy, and Iris offers some great ideas for how to support a friend going through this. How Iris is navigating the identity crisis that comes with inhabiting the liminal space between maiden and mother, between becoming and unbecoming, as well as being in a body that looks and feels different after her pregnancy loss.---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

In today's episode, I interview my beautiful client Damaris, who shares her fertility journey from experiencing two miscarriages to becoming naturally pregnant at 37 through a holistic approach to her health. Her story involves underlying issues with chronic bacterial vaginosis, compromised gut health which led to hormonal imbalances. Her story emphasizes the importance of personalized care, self-advocacy, and a comprehensive approach to fertility that goes beyond traditional medical treatments. Through patience, targeted interventions, and trusting the process, Damaris was able to overcome her fertility challenges and finally achieve a healthy natural pregnancy at 37.  Episode Highlights: Damaris, an ICU nurse, opens up about her journey through two miscarriages and now being 20 weeks pregnant. She reveals how chronic bacterial vaginosis was dismissed by doctors but deeply affected her fertility. A surprising gut health discovery changes everything; learn how she uncovered hidden issues and what helped her heal. From being clueless about cycle tracking to mastering her fertile window, Damaris shares the eye-opening lessons that transformed her understanding of her body. Facing low AMH and considering IVF, she found unexpected encouragement to explore natural fertility methods. Tune in for a heartfelt reflection on trusting intuition, personalized coaching, and the path that led to her pregnancy.

Send us a textJami Crist has lived through the kind of heartbreak most people can't imagine — and somehow, she's turned it into her superpower.After four pregnancy losses — including a termination at 17 weeks, miscarriages, and a traumatic loss at home — Jami realized there was just a gapping hole when it came to pregnancy loss support.In this episode, Jami shares her full story — from being adopted by her aunt at age five, to the patterns of instability that shaped her approach to motherhood, to the painful, relentless losses that nearly broke her.But what she's built out of the wreckage is extraordinary.She co-authored The Losses We Keep, an anthology of stories from women who've walked the same path — giving voice to the grief no one knows how to talk about.We also get into: ⚡️ What it's really like to parent after loss ⚡️ The pressure to “bounce back” at work  ⚡️ Why most companies still don't know how to support employees through miscarriage or stillbirth ⚡️ And what Jami wants every manager, friend, and family member to knowThis one is about loss — yes.But it's also about legacy.And the power of saying, “Me too,” when it matters most.

Send us a textDo you believe in divine intervention? After waking early one morning with Jade on my mind, I couldn't help but feel once again that there's something greater at work here.Jade Barrera is a wife, a mother, and a NICU nurse. Having worked with her for many years, I've had the privilege of watching Jade grow from a novice nurse to a confident leader as charge nurse. As any nurse will tell you, we become a close-knit family, deeply familiar with one another's struggles and triumphs. We celebrated with Jade when she shared her pregnancy news, and we mourned with her when she lost her son, Theo, at just 19 weeks.This is Jade's story—one of love, loss, and healing. It spans a full range of emotions, from grief and anger to joy and inspiration. I know it wasn't easy for Jade to share her story, and I deeply admire her courage in doing so. I hope that, through her journey, we can find both insight into grief and inspiration for our own healing paths.A quick postscript: After we recorded, Jade realized she hadn't mentioned something important. After delivering Theo, she experienced lactogenesis—essentially, her body began producing colostrum. This typically happens around 20 weeks of pregnancy, and Jade delivered Theo at 19 weeks. In her words, “Emotionally, it felt like someone kicked me while I was down. I was devastated as it was, and it was amplified by the pain of my body doing something right. I was so upset that my body couldn't carry a baby to viability, but all of sudden wanted to be good at making milk when there was no baby to feed.”  I know that by Jade sharing her experiences and her deep emotions, we can view loss through a more compassionate lens. After such a heavy conversion, Jade and I owed it to ourselves to have five minutes of fun. In the five-minute snippet: it's a new game called five words, five seconds each and guess what? No one's counting.

In this heartfelt conclusion to a two-part series, host Sharna Southan is joined again by Lindsey Paulson, who continues to bravely share her journey through five pregnancy losses—including the emotional, physical, and systemic challenges that no one prepares you for. Together, Sharna and Lindsey explore the gaps in post-loss care and the silent expectations placed on grieving women. From navigating insensitive hospital policies and fragmented medical systems, to the unseen weight of receiving well-intended—but triggering—gifts, this episode gently brings light to the moments where women are left alone to figure it all out. Lindsey speaks openly about the trauma response that still shows up, the exhaustion of advocating for yourself during a deeply vulnerable time, and the power of community and communication in healing. She also reveals the one thing she wishes someone had told her after her first loss: You're allowed to say no. To baby showers. To social obligations. To anything that doesn't feel safe or aligned. This episode is an empowering, validating reminder that your grief is valid, your boundaries matter, and you are not alone. ✨ Whether you're healing, holding space for someone else, or seeking to make a difference in this space, this conversation is a must-listen.

In this raw and powerful first instalment of a two-part series, host Sharna Southan sits down with Lindsey Paulson—mother, consultant, and host of The Mess to Mission podcast—to unpack the multifaceted journey of pregnancy loss and the unspoken depths of grief. Lindsey shares her experience of five pregnancy losses, including a most recent and traumatic one during Thanksgiving 2024. With remarkable honesty, she describes the emotional toll of grieving while parenting, the failures of the medical system, and the visceral reality of miscarriage that's often glossed over or silenced. Together, Sharna and Lindsey challenge the societal conditioning that teaches women to suppress their intuition and defer to authority, often at the cost of their health and wellbeing. They speak candidly about what it means to advocate for yourself, to process trauma in your own time, and to resist letting loss define your identity. This is not just a story of grief—it's a blueprint for reclaiming your voice, trusting your body, and holding compassion for every version of yourself along the way. ✨ Make sure to tune in to Part Two for the continuation of this deeply resonant conversation.

+ Behind the Certification, the Business, and the Bigger Why Welcome to a new chapter of the What I Wish I Knew Beyond Loss podcast — where healing, purpose, and legacy intersect. In today's deeply personal and powerful episode, I take you behind the scenes of the evolution of this space — and share why I expanded the podcast (and my entire business) to speak not only to grief, but to what comes after. We're diving into: • The real moment that changed everything for me • Why so many women feel the call to support others after pregnancy loss — but don't know where to start • The gaps in current systems and the emotional toll of unsupported grief • What inspired me to create the Pregnancy Loss & Trauma-Informed Practitioner Certification • How you can turn your lived experience into meaningful, trauma-informed, structured support for others • The truth about burnout, boundaries, and building a sustainable business in a sensitive space Whether you're navigating your own healing, supporting others through loss, or feeling the pull to do more with your story — this episode will meet you where you are and gently invite you forward. Because support after loss shouldn't be guesswork. It should be trauma-informed, embodied, and rooted in real understanding. ⸻

  Miscarriage and early pregnancy loss are more common than many realize, yet they're rarely talked about openly. On this episode of MamaDoc BabyDoc, we're breaking the silence. We'll explore the causes, the tests that can help provide answers, and the medical options available. But just as important, we'll talk about the emotional toll—how to navigate grief, seek support, and find hope. Whether you've experienced pregnancy loss yourself or want to better understand and support someone who has, this conversation is for you. Tune in for compassionate, honest insight on a topic that deserves to be heard.

Send us a textBirthday reflections hit differently when you're staring down 36 years of life experiences, complete with all the messy, beautiful, and sometimes downright painful moments that shape who we become. My journey has been anything but straightforward. I've navigated divorce, blended family dynamics, pregnancy loss, and the death of my daughter's father—all while battling anxiety, CPTSD, and coming to terms with being neurodivergent. The constant struggle between wanting acceptance and needing to be authentically myself has finally reached a tipping point where I'm choosing the latter, even when it's uncomfortable.Through the chaos, I've somehow managed to create a podcast, meet fascinating people from Olympians to professional fighters, write a book, buy a camper, and raise amazing children. These achievements didn't happen because life was perfect—they happened despite life being imperfect. That's what I want you to take away from this episode: you're still here, still fighting, still creating, and that alone makes you a warrior.As I enter this new year of life, I'm setting my sights on performing stand-up comedy, finishing my memoir, recording music, and traveling in our camper while homeschooling the kids. It's a tall order, but if there's anything these 36 years have taught me, it's that life is just a set of experiences—and I'm determined to make each one count.Join me in this raw, unfiltered birthday reflection where I peel back the layers of social media perfection to show you the real, sometimes struggling, but always determined person behind the microphone. Because in a world full of fake shit, couldn't we all use a little more authenticity?Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Episode Title: When the Bleeding Doesn't Stop: Bobbi's Story of Subchorionic Hematoma and Pregnancy Loss Podcast: What I Wish I Knew After Pregnancy Loss Host: Sharna Southern Guest: Bobbi Martin In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Bobbi Martin, a school counselor and military spouse, who vulnerably shares her journey through pregnancy loss caused by a subchorionic hematoma. From early signs of bleeding to navigating confusing and often conflicting medical advice, Bobbi walks us through the emotional, physical, and spiritual challenges she faced, including the heartbreaking preterm birth of her son Carter at 21 weeks. Through her story, we explore: • The medical ambiguity surrounding subchorionic hematomas • The emotional toll of “wait and see” care models • The importance of self-advocacy and listening to your intuition during pregnancy • The healing power of sharing your story and connecting with others who understand • Navigating multiple types of pregnancy loss, including a miscarriage following her first loss This episode is a gentle invitation to listen, reflect, and expand our understanding of what it means to carry the weight of invisible loss. Where to Find Bobbi:

Losing calves during pregnancy may not be a big factor in your operation, but it's still a loss and it does affect your bottom line. So today Chloe Collins (University of Missouri Extension) walks us through what can cause Gestational Pregnancy Loss during the Early Embryonic phase of the first 45 days to the fetal period from 45 days to birth. Plus, ways to mitigate those losses in both our young cows and older cows. It may not seem like a real problem in your cow herd, but maybe just understanding it a little better could increase your calf crop by 1 or 2 percent. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Gelbvieh #Vigortone #Limousin #calfloss #opencows #deathloss #productivity #muextension

Today Olivia is joined by Dr Jessica Farren, a consultant gynaecologist at University London College Hospital (UCLH) with a passion for early pregnancy care, and for empowering women with education about their health.

Today we dive into her work by discussing what these psychological impacts are, and how best to support women who are experiencing this, whether as a healthcare professional, colleague, friend or family member. This episode highlights the importance of seeing early pregnancy loss not as one diagnosis or experience, but rather acknowledging the range of factors and emotions involved.

Send us a textWhat can I say about Rachell Dumas? Or perhaps, what can't I say about her? Rachell is an extraordinary nurse with a powerful story of pregnancy loss that will leave you both in tears and shaking your head in disbelief. After experiencing the loss of nine pregnancies, Rachell founded the nonprofit organization “A Light After Nine.” This organization aims to provide families navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, and maternal trauma with the emotional, financial, and mental health resources they need. In true "nurse" fashion, Rachell works tirelessly to raise awareness and advocate for equitable maternal healthcare. Through Rachell, I learned about maternal palliative care, which is not only for mothers who are dying but is also essential for those experiencing high-risk pregnancies. Considering that 30% of pregnancies end in loss, this approach is a brilliant way to support this community.You may have heard the quote, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Rachell embodies the light she wishes to see in the world.In the five-minute snippet: Tell me you're a nurse without telling me you're a nurse.
