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.

384 – Second Trimester Loss and Adoption Loss Grieving with Dr. Tatiana H Sisters in Loss Podcast: Miscarriage, Pregnancy Loss, & Infertility Stories

Today's episode is a two part episode where we discuss adoption and second trimester loss.  Today's guest Dr. Tatiana Height wanted to become a mother through private adoption as she was single at the time.  During this time she faced alot of judgement from people about trying to adopt instead of carrying a biological child.  If you haven't listened to part 1 please go back to Episode 383 to listen. In this episode we discuss her finding out she was pregnant, her second trimester and miscarriage loss story, her 3rd failed adoption, and her grief and healing journey. We discuss how the third mom changed her mind the day the baby was due. Her due date was right at the same time as Tatiana was entering her second trimester, so she put her adoption plan on hold to focus on pregnancy. At 19 weeks and 3 days, her water broke and she gave birth to a baby girl, but she didn't survive.  10 months later she got pregnant again, but miscarried around 6 weeks, and she is now trying to adopt again.
