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
