A Paediatrician's Perspective on Losing a Child in Pregnancy and Later Life

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode deals with discussions of in/fertility and/or baby loss and of losing an older child.

--

Joining us for this insightful and heartfelt episode is Dr. Kiran Rahim, a paediatrician and mother to three children (the eldest of whom tragically died earlier this year), shares her personal journey through motherhood and miscarriage with honesty and vulnerability.

Dr. Rahim candidly discusses the devastating loss of her eldest child, the challenges of balancing a demanding medical career with family life, her experiences with infertility, and the societal pressures faced by women, particularly those from BAME.

We explore the impact of workplace culture on fertility and the importance of self-advocacy in the medical profession. Dr. Rahim's story is one of resilience, compassion and hope, offering valuable insights into the complexities of women's health, the hierarchy of grief, and the need for systemic change.
