Grief, guilt, and trauma responses are common, but rarely recognized or treated in traditional medical care.

When women receive the care they deserve, outcomes improve.

What I wish people understood is that not every pregnancy ends with a baby coming home. Phrases that begin with "at least…" are not always comforting. OBGYN waiting rooms are not always joyful places. Some people announce pregnancies "too soon," not realizing that for some, that announcement is all they ever get.

First Trimester Recurrent Miscarriages

This is not something you simply "move on" from. It is a process, and even now, talking about it brings tears to my eyes. The advice I share with others is this: accept the outreach. Sometimes the most helpful support comes from someone unexpected—someone who understands because they've been there too.

Death Post Birth

Losing my beautiful baby boy at 17 weeks gestation completely and utterly has destroyed me as a person…I have 2 living children and it has been so difficult being a mother and grieving my son while my kids are so involved too.

Second Trimester

It's easy to brush it off as "just an early pregnancy," but the truth is, I wanted that baby deeply. The timing didn't negate the loss or the grief. The emotional whiplash—going from excitement, to hope, to disappointment—was incredibly hard.

First Trimester

I started to notice how others talked about women who get pregnant easily like it's an accomplishment and demonstrates her physical superiority. Whereas, women who experience pregnancy loss are often made to feel like that is somehow due to something being wrong with us.

IVF

Im now 6.5 months pregnant, due April with a baby girl. This journey changed me forever. Yes it made me stronger but it also showed me the importance of getting help, listening to your gut and understanding the fertility journey takes time.
