375: Pregnancy Loss at 21 Weeks and the Grief Process with Katy Drew

What this episode covers

Today we welcome back previous guest Katy Drew, who originally joined us in 2017 to talk about future planning for home birth and why “non-moms” are important in birth conversations. When Katy and her husband Nick became pregnant in September 2021, they planned for a home birth with the assistance of a group of midwives they found in the area where they live in Puerto Rico. They also worked with an OBGYN to support their care. At 21 weeks, there was no heartbeat. Katy walks us through the process: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual that ensued as they prepared for an induced hospital birth experience. This conversation is deeply moving and powerful. We honor Katy, Nick and their son Angelito Grace. We’re so grateful to be able to share their story and celebrate Angelito’s soul journey.   Links: Our first interview with Katy in 2017: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doing-it-at-home/id1153134918?i=1000390984986 First interview with Katie McCormick: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doing-it-at-home/id1153134918?i=1000390555396 Second Interview with Katie McCormick: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doing-it-at-home/id1153134918?i=1000394561583 Zoe Adelle Books: https://www.zoeadelle.co.uk/books/ Zoe Adelle Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zoeadelle/ Doing It At Home book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3vJcPmU DIAH website: https://www.diahpodcast.com/ DIAH Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doingitathome/ DIAH YouTube: https://bit.ly/3pzuzQC DIAH Store: https://yoursuccessfulhomebirth.com/ DIAH Merch: https://bit.ly/3qhwgAe  Give Back to DIAH: https://bit.ly/3qgm4r9 Learn more about your ad choices.
