Back to EpisodesEpisode 30 - Stillbirth - The devastating loss of a baby and gaining support as you move forward
Description
In this episode, I talk to Amy from the Lily Mae Foundation - a charity which works tirelessly to provide support to anyone who experiences stillbirth, miscarriage, neonatal death or medical termination.
Amy shares what it feels like to find out that your baby has no heartbeat, and her experience of going through the loss of a stillborn baby. She talks about the decision making process that comes with that awful news, and her subsequent labour and birth. We also talk about deciding to become pregnant again, and the feelings that come up during that time. This is such an important topic which so many struggle to discuss due to it’s very nature, but I wanted to ensure that we cover all aspects of antenatal preparation on this podcast.
If you experience the loss of a child at any stage of pregnancy or birth, then you can seek support from organisations like Amy's.
