TCY Podcast 51: Our First Miscarriage and Near-Death Experience: What Every Couple Should Know (From Functional Health Coaches)

In this episode of the TCY Podcast, we share the painful story of our first miscarriage and the near-death experience that followed. Our goal is not just to tell the story, but to give practical insight that may help other couples better navigate early pregnancy complications, miscarriage, emergency care, recovery, and the emotional toll that comes with it.   We break down what happened during our ER visits, where traditional medical care failed us, and why self-advocacy during pregnancy matters more than most people realize. We also discuss the lack of support many women face in the first several weeks of pregnancy, different options for pregnancy support such as OBs, midwives, doulas, and functional health practitioners, and why preparation before conception can matter so much.   We also talk about the physical and emotional recovery process after miscarriage, what many couples are not told, how hormones and hCG levels can affect recovery, how quickly fertility can return, and how spouses can stay connected while processing grief together.   If you or someone you love has experienced miscarriage, fertility struggles, or confusion around early pregnancy care, we hope this episode helps you feel less alone and more equipped.   In this episode, we cover: Miscarriage and emergency D&C experience Near-death complications from delayed care Why self-advocacy in pregnancy is critical Gaps in traditional early pregnancy care Functional health and fertility optimization Midwives, doulas, OBs, and support options Physical recovery after miscarriage Emotional healing for both husband and wife Fertility after miscarriage and D&C How couples can stay connected through grief   This episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice.
