7) Pregnancy After Loss and Birth Trauma: A Guide to Healing and Empowerment

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses birth trauma, miscarriage, and the emotional complexities of pregnancy after loss. Please listen with care.

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Dam Parenting, we are joined by trauma-informed practitioner Ilena Standring to explore the often-silent journey of pregnancy after a traumatic birth or loss. We take a warm, honest, and direct look at how the nervous system carries the memory of past experiences and how that impacts your mental health today. Ilena explains the mechanics of "Pregnancy PTSD" and offers practical tools for emotional regulation and building resilience while expecting. For international parents in the Netherlands, navigating these triggers in a foreign medical system can be daunting; this conversation is here to remind you that your feelings are valid and that healing is possible. Discover how to reclaim your agency and feel empowered as you carry your next chapter forward.
