27. Is Pregnancy Loss a Trauma That is Often Overlooked?

May 09, 2024

Is pregnancy loss a trauma that is often overlooked?

In today’s episode, I am diving into the topic of trauma, specifically focusing on pregnancy loss as a form of birth trauma. This trauma is often minimized and can lead to women who have experienced this internalizing their pain. I share research with you that says that 1 in 3 births could be classified as traumatic, and I believe that pregnancy loss should also be recognized as a major trauma. I share the concept of shock trauma and explain its physical and emotional effects. I want to also emphasize the importance of support systems and self-care in processing these experiences. I hope this episode was helpful for you.Thank you for listening!
