Trigger Warning for pregnancy loss stillbirth miscarriage trauma and postpartum mental health


Today’s episode of For The Hayters shares Kassie’s powerful story of losing her daughter Sutton at 21 weeks. Kassie walked into her routine anatomy scan expecting the same relief she felt with her first pregnancy. Instead she heard the words every parent fears. There is no heartbeat.

Kassie opens up about feeling something was wrong the week before her appointment the shock of delivering her daughter the panic attacks that took over her life the intrusive thoughts that followed and the EMDR therapy that helped her finally breathe again. She also shares what helped her heal the importance of community and why remembering these babies matters.


There is so much courage in this conversation and so much hope for anyone walking through loss today.
