Normalizing Miscarriages with Michelle Morales
In this episode we talk about miscarriages with Michelle Morales. Michi had a spontaneous miscarriage and was told on an ultrasound appt at 13 weeks, when the nurse and doctor realized there was no heartbeat. Michi was told she would need a procedure to remove the fetus, since it was no longer alive. Michi was shocked, devastated and confused. Tune in to hear about her story, pregnancy process and an amazing discussion on the need for normalizing talking about miscarriages.
Miscarriages typically happen during the first trimester of pregnancy. Statistics reveal 10-15 women out of 100 will experience a miscarriage in the first trimester. During the second trimester, that number drops to 1-5 out of 100 women. If you've had a miscarriage, please note this is a trigger warning. But also note, you are not alone.
If you want to connect with Michi, her instagram is @michestefania and I'm sure she'd love to hear your thoughts and connect with you as well.
Have a wonderful day or night wherever you may be.
Sending you so much love,
Krysten
