Pregnancy loss can change so much more than how you feel about pregnancy.
It can change how you feel about your body, your future, your relationship, and whether you can trust that things will ever turn out differently.
In this episode of The Fertility Godmother Show, Denise Erez sits down with Jessica Fisher, founder of Lavella Health, for an honest conversation about what happens physically and emotionally after pregnancy and reproductive loss.
Jessica shares her own experience of four pregnancy losses, including an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured and required emergency surgery, and how those experiences led her to create Lavella Health after realizing how little specialized support existed for women navigating miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, and other forms of reproductive loss.
Together, Denise and Jessica talk about the parts of pregnancy loss that often go unspoken, including postpartum after loss, self-blame, the pressure to move on before you’re ready, and what happens when partners grieve the same loss very differently.
They also talk about what better support after pregnancy loss could look like. Jessica shares the vision behind Lavella Health, including specialized mental health care, community, and a more connected continuum of care so women don’t have to figure out where to turn on their own after a loss.
And they explore one of the hardest questions of all: How do you let yourself hope again after pregnancy loss?
Jessica talks about the fear of trying again, the anxiety that can come with another pregnancy, and the reality that grief and joy can exist at the same time.
If you’ve experienced pregnancy loss, are thinking about trying again, or want to better understand how to support someone you love, this conversation is for you.
