Why Pregnancy Loss Doesn't End When a Healthy Baby Arrives

Why Pregnancy Loss Doesn't End When a Healthy Baby Arrives

There are some experiences in motherhood that don't end when we think they will.

Pregnancy loss is often spoken about as something that happens — and then we move forward. But what's talked about far less is what happens when the grief doesn't stay in the past. When it returns in another pregnancy. Or shows up after your healthy baby is born.

Today I'm joined by Dr. Renée Out — a doctor, bereavement counsellor, and founder of Renée Begeleiding — who works closely with women navigating the emotional impact of miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, and medical pregnancy loss.

We talk about why grief doesn't follow timelines, why a healthy baby doesn't erase a previous loss, how the body holds what the mind tries to move past, and what partners can actually do to help.

If you've ever thought: "I should feel grateful… so why do I still feel this?" — this one is for you.
