This is the second part of the conversation about pregnancy and infant loss we started last week. We discuss how to talk with your other kids about loss, how different family members may cope differently, and how grief is a process, not a one-time thing. The conversation is with, for, and about mothers, but birthworkers and loved ones will learn so much by tuning in as well!

Trigger Warning: This conversation was facilitated with the pregnancy and infant loss mother in mind.

Katie (@griefgardenne), Abby (@omahachildbirtheducation), and I briefly share our loss stories spanning first, second, and third trimester losses. But there are no vivid descriptions or scary details shared. The unifying factor is loss itself, and this is a safe place to listen, cry, and feel seen and understood.

However, I think anyone who loves a person who has lost a baby should also listen to this, as should birth workers and pediatric care providers. How we navigate loss with families needs to improve, and what Katie and Abby share from a personal and professional standpoint is so so helpful.

“Can I lose weight without losing my milk supply?”


Megan Brister (@postpartum.weightloss.rd) and I talk about this delicate and nuanced subject in today's episode.


Does everyone need to intentionally lose weight postpartum? No.


Do we need to learn to have grace and patience with our softer bodies as we soften into our new roles? Yes.


Do we sometimes mistakenly conflate being at our old weight with feeling like "ourselves" again? Yes.


But also, sometimes, after the initial postpartum recovery phase, weight loss is desired. And you deserve a real answer to the real questions about how to do it wisely, safely, and realistically.
