One of the hardest topics to talk about, yet approximately 1 in 4 pregnancies actually end up in miscarriage. You are not alone.

Dr. Jessica Zucker talks to us about her miscarriage at 16 weeks from what happened; how she felt; what emotional reactions your mind and body go through; to the realities that many women have to face. 

It's time to destigmatize miscarriage. It's time to talk about it. We cannot leave people to feel ashamed, alone, depressed or embarrassed. By bringing pregnancy loss to the forefront of conversation, the easier it will be for us to help those effected, and finally normalise some of the realities women face during their pregnancy journey.

I urge everyone to take some time to listen in. Not only could this conversation enlighten an ignorant mind (like mine, when it comes to pregnancy), but help those who have felt let down by society. 

Let's do this, together!

If you know a family that has been effected by pregnancy loss; someone who can't conceive, people going through IVF or adoption; let them know about this episode - it could just give them that little bit of hope.
