#18 - A Miscarriage and Mom Guilt (Anonymom series)

Welcome to my Anonymom series.  Real moms talking about their deepest and darkest moments - anonymously.  Anonymom episodes may consist of difficult topics including miscarriage, infertility, separation, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other potentially triggering issues.  Names have been changed to protect the identity of the mom. This episode features Jennifer, a working mom with a one year old.  She talks about her previous miscarriage and what the subsequent experience of pregnancy was like.  She goes in depth about the mom guilt she feels for not being able to breastfeed and for working while her son is at daycare.  She shares how important it is to be vulnerable and open up to other moms because the potential for solidarity is invaluable.  This podcast should not be substituted for legitimate mental health treatment.  If you or a mom you know is struggling with mental health difficulties during pregnancy, postpartum, or beyond, contact Postpartum Support International at 800-944-4773 or visit www.postpartum.net.  If you are worried about your safety or the safety of a loved one, please call for help immediately at 911 or by reaching out to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
