    Healing from pregnancy loss: it takes a village

    Healing from pregnancy loss: it takes a village

    For far too long, reproductive health has been filled with taboos and stigmas, making it harder to take care of our own bodies. That’s why we’ve started the podcast series ‘Fertility Unfiltered’, in partnership with Genea– to help people learn more about reproductive health topics from health experts. We’re creating a safe space for conversations around fertility, ranging from the possibility of parenthood, seeking guidance on reproductive health and even the science behind conception.
     
    In our tenth and final episode of this series, we speak to Samantha Payne, the CEO and founder of The Pink Elephants Support Network. A mother herself, Samantha has gone through the traumatic experience of pregnancy loss, and now, her charity helps connect and support other women and families in an effort to dispel common misconceptions around pregnancy loss. We also chat to Genea Fertility counsellor Evalyn Zwahlen, plus Catherine McNair from QBE explains how employers can improve workplace leave policies for pregnancy loss.
