Inspiration from this Episode
“It is a grief no one is anticipating. In the pregnancy process, we are anticipating life, not death.”
“It is really impacted in some ways by what our hopes and dreams and our plans were.”
“If you need to, be your own advocate. If you need another opinion, get another opinion.”
