How I Used Midwifery Knowledge to Navigate My Pregnancy Loss
Manage episode 430593165 series 99157
I have so much to share about my recent miscarriage but it felt easiest in some ways to begin by sharing the experience from a midwifery perspective. It really gets me how many women don’t know what a “normal” loss looks or feels like, or are told lies or shoved into the medical system for unnecessary intervention. I realized once again my body’s strength and power and the strength and power in ALL women to know their bodies and to release a pregnancy that is no longer growing. This is information that all women should have, and even though one doesn’t “need” a midwifery education and experience to navigate personal loss, it sure did help and come in handy when I needed it most.
I’ll be sharing the spiritual and emotional story(ies) in our upcoming new Sacred Birth program.
