October is pregnancy and Infant loss awareness month
Pregnancy loss is devastating and often not discussed as it can make families feel uncomfortable or just too sad. Sharing your story or allowing someone else to do the same can help lighten the sadness that families who experienced a loss share. It also allows women to know that they are not alone and to acknowledge the child who still grows in their heart.
Thanks for bringing this up Dr. Sara! So many women shoulder this pain and are afraid to discuss it or have been made to feel that they just need to “move on”, which is a terrible thing to think. This reminds me of a blog post on the topic of miscarriage from a few months ago, which might be relevant especially this month: http://www.bundoo.com/community-blog/having-a-miscarriage-is-not-your-fault/
Thank you Dr. Jen. I hope our readers will be inspired to share their stories so that the many women who quietly grieve can know they are not alone.
