Episode 13: He who must not be named (miscarriage).

The Male Doula: Birth Stories - A podcast by Matt Clark

Categories:

Miscarriage is something many won't, don't or can't talk about. I feel truly humbled and blessed to talk to Harry Potter star, Danni Tabor about her and her husband J's birth story. We never know exactly what causes a baby to stop growing and sadly pass away before being born, but we do hear theories. These theories can be cruel and uncaring. This amazing lady talks about the realities for her and her partner in facing more than their miscarriages alone.  Actress turned Wellbeing Coach and Gym owner Danni not only talks about miscarriage and the effects on a relationship but also of the loss of her mother and the need to feel the love her mum had for her, towards her own child. Hear the urgency that she felt to get pregnant and the tears we both had as she spoke of her repeated loss. There is a beautiful conclusion to our chat together that is also the beginning of an amazing journey for her as a mother and wife and J as a husband and father. We can all learn much from Danni & J about the need for empathy from NHS staff when discussing miscarriage and what to expect from a hospital environment if you face this tragic event. Quotes in this podcast: "We had some sex and I got pregnant!" "I'm really good at being okay!" "There was an urgency to get pregnant...my mum was going to be at the birth" "Awareness is what I preach." "..this one time, we had sex."
