My Miscarriage Story

October 14, 2018 //  by plusmommy//  2 Comments

Content warning for pregnancy loss and suicidal thoughts.

During this episode of the Plus Mommy Podcast, I share miscarriage story with complete vulnerability. From the joy of learning I was pregnant to the shock of experiencing a loss, I turned on my recorder and started telling my story.

This episode is unedited – it’s raw and real. I not only lost a pregnancy my husband and I so desperately wanted but was laid off from my career of over seven years. These life-altering events happened a few days apart. I was left completely broken and fell into a deep depression.

When 1 in 4 pregnancies end in a loss and 1 in 5 people struggle with mental health, it’s powerful to share our stories and have our experiences normalized!

While I understand this episode might be triggering for some, if it helps just one person feel less alone it was worth sharing.


This is my miscarriage story.

    I have been putting off listening to this podcast because I knew how raw and real you would be and I just wasn’t ready to hear and feel that because I feel I haven’t completely dealt with my miscarriage. Well, I finally got the emotional strength to listen to it and I feel like I healed a little more listening to you. Thank you, my friend. I call you that, because even though we have never met, you have helped me, strengthened me and given me the gratitude and confidence I needed in myself. Never thought I would find that through a podcast, Instagram or a website, but your vulnerability and authenticity has helped me in many ways.

    Keep doing what you’re doing. You are making a difference in people’s life. I can truly attest to that because of how you have helped mine.

      I can’t even begin to explain how much your comment has touched my heart! I honestly wasn’t sure how this episode would be received. I put off recording it because I knew it would be hard to do but something made me feel like I needed to do it. Your comment and other messages I’ve received have confirmed I did the right thing. I will continue to share the scary stuff if it helps others to feel less alone.

      I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss BillieJean. I hope you do something nice for yourself after listening to this episode!

I'm not afraid to chat about something many people I'm not afraid to chat about something many people deal with, but no one wants to talk about - chafing. #Ad⁠⁠

But I wasn't worried because I have a tried and true standby that I've personally used for years - Chub Rub from @zonenaturals.⁠⁠
⁠⁠

⁠⁠
It has a natural formulation with organic coconut oil. ⁠⁠

All I knew was that I desperately wanted to change the narrative around plus size pregnancy and thought sharing my story could make a difference.⁠⁠

Ten years and nearly 6.5 million pageviews later, I'm forever thankful I decided to tell my story.⁠⁠

Thank you for being part of my journey!⁠⁠
