Early Pregnancy Loss. A natural and heartbreaking part of being the keeper of a womb.

The Natural Birth Podcast

Trigger Warning: Early Pregnancy Loss

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have a different kind of birth story.

Today me and the beautiful Amy that I will soon introduce will talk about early miscarriage.

Miscarriage is more common than we think.

And even though it is rapidly changing the way we as women relate to our bodies, our monthly bleed, our sexuality, pregnancy and birth, we rarely talk openly about miscarriage and especially not the early miscarriages.

About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage.

But the actual number is likely much higher because many miscarriages occur so early in pregnancy that women might not even realize she was pregnant to begin with.

They may just think they are having a heavy period.

If this happens to you, you might have cramping, heavier bleeding than normal, pain in the tummy, pelvis or back, and feel weak.

I believe that in order to fully reclaim our power and sovereignty as women we need to reclaim our bleed, the cycles we flow through and to speak openly and honestly about all the facets of being the custodian of a womb.

So I was very honored by Amy reaching out about wanting to bring her early miscarriage and the wisdom and deep healing she gained through this most natural experience of many women lives and journey to become a parent.

Amy is a Dancer, Spiritual Director, and Ordained Christian Minister from Missouri, USA. She teaches others to unlock the wisdom of their bodies through movement, storytelling, and music. And today, through her vulnerable and generous share we get to talk in-depth about the experience of early miscarriage.
