Tracy has had 9 pregnancies and 2 live births. In Tracy's first birth story she shares how she was set on an unmedicated vaginal birth, but due to her baby being stuck in the frank breech position, despite an ECV attempt, she ended up having to have a cesarean. Moving forward she ended up having a few miscarriages which included a blighted ovum and a Turner's Syndrome diagnoses. She walks us through the in depth aftermath of dealing the the trauma of these losses and how it impacted her 2nd birth story which ended in a successful VBAC. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
In this conversation with Liz, Hayley speaks about the multiple miscarriages that she experienced, the devastating decision that herself and husband Charlie had to make when they found out that their baby had Turner's Syndrome and how, after four miscarriages and a medical termination, she continues to try to find the balance between loss and hope. Miscarriage remains a taboo subject and if often a source of deep loneliness and grief for those who experience it. Because it is a subject avoided by many, the signs and symptoms of miscarriage often cause unnecessary additional distress and can be a deeply shocking and confusing time for the parents' experiencing this loss. I am aware that Hayley has a living child and that some listeners do not have a living child; I wish to acknowledge this possible trigger of pain. Hayley's candid and heartfelt approach to the subject provides a much-needed insight into what it means to endure multiple pregnancy losses and also a glimpse of the devastation parents' face when medical termination is an option they must consider. Hayley, who has significantly resourced herself through these experiences by accessing support and attending ongoing counselling, shares with us the variety of organisations where she found some support and comfort, she generously shares them with us here today: Note from Liz: I hope you're all getting something really beneficial from the Shapes Of Grief podcast.
