Pregnancy after Miscarriage
The Springs in the Desert Podcast: Catholic Accompaniment Through Infertility
This episode contains sensitive topics, so we invite you to listen with care. Becoming pregnant after losing one or more children to miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss can be a very joyful yet anxious time. Jillian, Ann, and Cassandra talk about the various emotions that come along with a pregnancy after experiencing the trauma of loss in the past. They discuss the fact that a new baby doesn't remove all of the grief from the past nor replace other children who were not able to be carried to term. Also, they give advice on how to stay positive and hopeful during a new pregnancy.

About Podcast
At Springs, we know that infertility is a heavy cross. But as Catholics, we believe that by keeping our focus on Christ, we can come through this season of waiting stronger in faith and love—no matter what happens. So each week, we’ll bring you a conversation that gets to the heart of the infertility experience – including primary/secondary infertility, miscarriage/loss, childlessness, and more.
