EP53: Miscarriage Part 3: The psychological and emotional journey

*Trigger warning: Before we start today's episode, I want to start with a trigger warning because we're going to be talking about pregnancy loss and miscarriage today. I want to acknowledge that this is a sensitive topic that may bring up strong emotions for some listeners. If at any point you feel the need to pause or take a break, please do so.If you recall, in episode 43, we talked about the symptoms, diagnosis, types and causes of a miscarriage. And in episode 46, we talked about management options. Today, we're going to step away from the medicine and we're going to dig into the psychological and emotional aspects of having a miscarriage. This is huge and is really important – and we could argue that in the vast majority of cases, it's way more of an emotional event than a physical event. Remember, a miscarriage is not your fault.You may also be interested in:EP43: Miscarriage Part 1: Symptoms, diagnosis, types & causesEP46: Miscarriage Part 2: Management options & FAQEP09: Coping with Mother's Day with Kristina VirroEP13: Fertility support groups made possible with OasisFSNEP23: Renee's story: A 4.5 year IVF journey, the power of Instagram & fertility advocacyEP35: Bianca's story: A 8 year IVF journey, mental health awareness & the power of sharing storiesFollow us on Instagram @myfertilitypodcast, YouTube @MyFertilityPodcast, or reach out to us at [email protected] Markham Fertility Centre at markhamfertility.com
