“I’m disappointed… Not in your podcast as I always found this a great resource and a go to while I was pregnant…But that we lost our baby at 7 and 1/2 weeks. There was no answers, no comfort, and I knew it wasn’t anyone’s fault. Afterwards I was in shock and I was heartbroken. The Pregnancy Podcast was one of the first places I went for information. But I was sadly disappointed that there was not information or awareness about miscarriages. It would make me feel much better if you had information on miscarriages for future mothers. On a positive note, we will be trying for our rainbow baby soon. Because after every storm there’s always a rainbow.” – Lauren
