Midwife Nicola Oliver, from NeoHealth, explains why women continue to live with the grief from pregnancy loss in the latest Tell Me Why podcast with Maria Botros.
- We know that it’s something people never get over, they just learn to live with it in a different way, says Nicola
- Nicola: Studies have shown that the way doctors and midwives handle pregnancy loss can either exacerbate couples’ grief or help them through the grieving
- We encourage people to hold their babies and use their names to acknowledge their baby as a baby, not a loss, says Nicola
- Nicola: In these situations, couples are not just losing a baby, they’re losing their dream of being parents
