In this episode, Jen discusses the pervasive fear many moms experience about becoming pregnant again after a stillbirth. She provides insights on why this fear exists, ways to manage it, and steps to move past it. Key points include making an informed decision with the support of a doctor, preparing both mind and body for pregnancy, employing 'thought switching' to combat negative thoughts, finding supportive communities, and handling triggers associated with past losses. Jen emphasizes the importance of not going through this journey alone and reassures mothers that their feelings are normal.
