In this special re-released episode, Aimee Baron, MD, founder of I Was Supposed To Have A Baby, shares her deeply personal experience with a second-trimester miscarriage. She explores the unique trauma of navigating a medical crisis while away from home for the Passover holiday and the lasting impact that loss had.

Aimee walks through the timeline of a pregnancy that appeared healthy at her 16-week checkup, only to be upended by a phone call from her doctor while she was away. She describes the search for medical care and the crushing moment an ultrasound confirmed her baby had passed just days after her checkup.

The conversation also touches on the complex intersection of Jewish law and medical emergency, as Aimee and her husband navigated the restrictions of the holiday to seek an immediate procedure. She shares the stark, painful memory of waking up from anesthesia in a public recovery room and the specific emotional weight of losing a genetically healthy baby. This story highlights how Jewish holidays, so often focused on children and family, can become permanent markers of loss and "scars" on the heart for those in the infertility community.

If you are navigating the holiday season while carrying the weight of a past or current loss this episode is for you.
