On this weeks episode Kelly welcomes service user Megan to the podcast. 

Megan shares her journey of pregnancy trauma, premature birth and the loss of her daughter Grace. 

Grace had a heart condition and Megan bravely speaks about her emotional experience of constant medical appointments which lead to her feeling extremely isolated and alone. Whilst Grace was in NICU, at just 3 days old, she had heart surgery but sadly there was nothing else they could do for her.

Absolutely heart broken and trying to process her daughter’s death, Megan discusses the language and lack of support she received by medical professionals and also at times; her employers. She opens up about the impact this had on her. Megan wanted to share some of the insensitivity shown around her daughter’s death leaving her lacking in confidence and worrying about how she behaves or what she says to others.

Kelly and Megan talk about writing letters to everyone that she feels affected her experience for her own education as well as others.

Megan touches upon the desires and feelings around wanting to instantly get pregnant after a loss. She wanted to let everyone know these feelings are natural and it's nothing to be ashamed off. Megan is happy to receive emails from anyone who feels they need some support.
