341 – Black Birth Stories with Shayla Brown

Erica Michelle

Black birth stories have joy and they also do have trauma.  In today’s episode we dive into the creator of the Black Birth Story blog Shayla Brown’s own birth story and journey to becoming a mom.  Shayla has been pregnant over 10 times with a few miscarriages and one heterotopic pregnancy that resulted in her losing a fraternal twin ectopically and being currently pregnant with the other twin.  She shares her journey through grieving while mothering and removing negative emotions, recognizing and defining her emotions, and talking through those emotions with trusted professionals and therapist.

This episode is for you to listen to if you have experienced loss in between earth side babies and how to manage your emotions through it all. Black birth stories are joyful and we can birth trauma free.

International Bereaved Mother’s Day is this upcoming Sunday, May 5, 2024.  This day is for us to show our love for our babies gone to heaven far too soon. Sunday, May 12, 2024 in the US we celebrate Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day can be very challenging, difficult emotionally, and with social distancing and quarantine can and will be very lonely for many Sisters in Loss. Today’s episode is my love letter to you letting you know that You are a Mother! All of the needle pokes, disappointing news, positive and negative pregnancy tests, exciting feelings of baby movement, to holding your baby in your arms after they have taken their last breath made you a mother. Don’t let anyone make you feel different on Mother’s Day. On Sunday, do what you need to do.  Watch church online, make you a bomb brunch with mimosas, cry hard, stay home, and facetime or houseparty with family and friends will make the day better.  Do it all.  Sunday is your Mother’s Day.  You are amazing!  You are brave!  You are beautiful!  You are loved!  You are blessed!  You are a Mom.  Happy Mother’s Day Sister in Loss!
