Stigma is, unfortunately, a common thread across So Glad You Asked. In this episode, we explore the silence, stigma, and shame that can surround miscarriage. Even though 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage, much of the grief and recovery still happens in private.Dr. Jessica Zucker, a Los Angeles–based psychologist specializing in reproductive health and author of the award-winning books NORMALIZE IT: Upending the Silence, Stigma, and Shame That Shape Women’s Lives and I HAD A MISCARRIAGE: A Memoir, a Movement, joins Dr. Ruta and Allie for a thoughtful and deeply important conversation about bringing miscarriage into the open. Dr. Zucker shares the story behind her viral #IHadaMiscarriage campaign, offers guidance on what to say—and what not to say—and discusses ways to cope with anxiety in future pregnancies.We hope this conversation helps break some of the silence and reminds you that you’re not alone.Resources:NORMALIZE IT: Upending the Silence, Stigma, and Shame That Shape Women’s LivesI HAD A MISCARRIAGE: A Memoir, a MovementSaying it Loudly: I Had a Miscarriage - The New York Times Loss and Grief in Pregnancy & Postpartum - Postpartum Support InternationalMore from Dr. Ruta on womensmentalhealth.orgDisclaimer: This podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical care.
