Trigger Warning: neo natal death and miscarriage


While we have previously touched on difficult pregnancies, today’s episode follows one incredibly strong woman’s journey through the trauma of neo natal death.

-      How confusing and unclear the process of finding out what was happening was

-      The traumatic moments after having to give birth to her daughter

-      What happened to her after the neo natal death of her daughter

-      The scary process of falling pregnant a second time

-      How her second pregnancy almost ended in a similar way
