Show Notes
On average, one in every four pregnancies ends in loss, and yet miscarriage, stillbirth, and pregnancy loss are still taboo subjects in many cultures. As a result, women who go through it experience shame, guilt, and loneliness which is entirely a product of attitude, and not science. This Baby Loss awareness week, we want to cast a light on a not at all uncommon phenomenon.
In this episode:
- Leila and Kim share and compare their personal experiences of pregnancy loss and how it has changed their attitudes to actually having a child
- A look at the frequency of pregnancy loss, and the documented causes
- We dissect how the language we use shapes the way we and others think about pregnancy loss.
- Some advice on what to say to someone going through a pregnancy loss
- How pregnancy losses are treated in the workplace, and how that's beginning to change.
