Understanding Miscarriage: Types, Management and Support Options
Don't Tell Me To RELAX- Your Fertility PodcastShow Notes
Over the next 3 months we will be looking at the complex and emotional topic of miscarriage.
In this episode I am joined by Morven, an Independent Fertility Nurse and resident Fertility Nurse in our Don't Tell Me to RELAX community. We discuss the various types of miscarriage, symptoms, and management options. Plus: How miscarriage is a common yet heartbreaking experience. What are different types of miscarriages with varying symptoms. How statistics on miscarriage are often based on estimations. How symptoms of miscarriage can vary widely. How expectant management allows the body to pass naturally. How medical management involves medication to assist in the process. How the emotional recovery from miscarriage can take longer than physical recovery.

We explore baby loss, pregnancy loss, the grief that comes in waves, and practical ways to stay connected while also making room for hope. We discuss: what grief coaching is & her training why loss is loss, whether it was a chemical pregnancy, an unsuccessful transfer, or another form of baby loss. the importance of continuing bonds, including ways to keep a connection through names, rituals, special places, jewellery, scan boxes, or planting something meaningful. how grief can come back suddenly through anniversaries, scans, songs, places, or body memories, and that this does not mean anything is wrong. how there is tension between grief and hope, and how two emotions can exist at the same time without one cancelling the other.
