[TW: talking about miscarriage, ectopic loss, PTSD and suicidal thoughts]
In this latest episode, Emma is joined by her colleague and friend Michelle to talk openly about two ectopic pregnancies, early miscarriage, IVF and PTSD. It's a very raw and honest chat. Michelle talks about the impact her experiences and losses have had on her mental health. She also shares advice and coping strategies.
While a story of awful loss and trauma, the episode is also full of light as Michelle talks about her rainbow baby and her hopes for the future.
