The Worst Girl Gang Ever Laura and Bex

In this episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, hosts Bex Gunn & Laura Buckingham talk to community member Nikita about her journey to pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage.

They discuss Nikita's experience with the medical system during this difficult time, including feeling rushed on the day her son was born to complete paperwork. Nikita also touches on how support groups can both help and hinder the grieving process, as you will always find stories that match your specific worries if looking for them.

Nikita's journey to her first pregnancy

The details of her miscarriage

The lack of explanation from medical professionals
