We rarely talk about it, and yet it happens to so many of us, and often when it does, it wounds. In this episode, Soniah Kamal tells about a miscarriage that hit her hard. Her essay, called "The Face of Miscarriage," appeared in a slightly different form in the New York Times. Alison and Kate also discuss why, exactly, there is such a cultural taboo around the m-word. 

Also in this episode, the great manners our toddlers learn…from other people.

Note: This episode contains explicit detail about miscarriage. It's definitely not for kids, and if such material really bothers you, this may be a good one to skip.
