I have so much to share about my recent miscarriage but it felt easiest in some ways to begin by sharing the experience from a midwifery perspective. It really gets me how many women don’t know what a “normal” loss looks or feels like, or are told lies or shoved into the medical system for unnecessary intervention. I realized once again my body’s strength and power and the strength and power in ALL women to know their bodies and to release a pregnancy that is no longer growing. This is information that all women should have, and even though one doesn’t “need” a midwifery education and experience to navigate personal loss, it sure did help and come in handy when I needed it most.
I’ll be sharing the spiritual and emotional story(ies) in our upcoming new Sacred Birth program.

I’m so sorry Maryn. Thanks for sharing your story. I found Indie Birth after my first pregnancy that was a miscarriage. It helped me to heal. I had too many feelings and felt misunderstood. I also thought I could have done anything. So I really appreciate it because people don’t talk about it, and it is part of life. You don’t know me but I send you a big hug and big thanks for your work.
