S8 E45 | The Emotional Toll of Secondary Infertility on Motherhood


Listen Later

What emotional toll does secondary infertility take on a mother already caring for a young child? The transcript reveals the immense challenges Leah faces, from the physical complications of a previous C-section to the devastating cycle of miscarriages. 

Juggling the demands of motherhood while grieving the loss of unborn children has clearly taken a significant mental and emotional toll. Leah's experiences of PTSD symptoms, insomnia, and feelings of devastation highlight the profound impact of this journey. 

There is a societal stigma surrounding miscarriage, which can further compound the isolation and difficulty of the situation. Despite these obstacles, Leah has found solace in coping mechanisms like writing and gardening, as well as the support of her husband and friends. Her resilience in the face of such adversity is truly admirable.
