My Fertility Podcast
Hello superhumans! My Fertility Podcast is hosted by Dr. Meivys Garcia and Dr. Marta Wais, REIs at Markham Fertility Centre. Each week we'll explore the many facets of conception, pregnancy, and reproductive health. We're not just talking about the medical side of things, but also the emotional, psychological, and even the societal aspects that come with the journey to parenthood. Infertility is hard enough. Our goal is to provide education along with a good dose of encouragement and support. Whether you're just starting to think about having a baby, actively trying or facing challenges along the way, My Fertility Podcast will be your go to resource for honest conversations and a supportive community. Let's demystify the world of fertility together.

EP53: Miscarriage Part 3: The psychological and emotional journey
*Trigger warning: Before we start today's episode, I want to start with a trigger warning because we're going to be talking about pregnancy loss and miscarriage today. I want to acknowledge that this is a sensitive topic that may bring up strong emotions for some listeners. If at any point you feel the need to pause or take a break, please do so.
If you recall, in episode 43, we talked about the symptoms, diagnosis, types and causes of a miscarriage. And in episode 46, we talked about management options. Today, we're going to step away from the medicine and we're going to dig into the psychological and emotional aspects of having a miscarriage. This is huge and is really important – and we could argue that in the vast majority of cases, it's way more of an emotional event than a physical event. Remember, a miscarriage is not your fault.
