This episode was inspired by a message from long-time listener Sierra. She has experienced multiple miscarriages and, though she appreciated the episodes I have done discussing pregnancy loss, there are some issues specific to recurrent miscarriage that I haven’t gotten into yet. Sierra says “You've had some women who gave birth stories that had elements of miscarriage or infertility, but most of the discussions with them focus on the living children they had afterwards.”

A successful pregnancy following miscarriage is the norm, it’s true. But for some, that’s not the full story. If you’re going through this painful experience, I hope this episode brings you both practical information and reassurance that you’re not alone. Even if you don’t think this episode applies to you, don’t shy away from it out of fear. Staying informed is empowering, not tempting fate!

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

• What the difference is between miscarriage and recurrent miscarriage
• How common single miscarriage is compared to recurrent
• What causes are often behind pregnancy loss
• Which treatment options are available
• How likely a successful pregnancy is after miscarriage
• What the emotional impact of a pregnancy loss can be
• How to support someone who’s had a miscarriage
• What to say to someone who has recently experienced loss
