My Radical Journey Through Four Pregnancy Losses

The Radical Female with Jami Crist

I am kicking this season off in October, a month very dear to my heart. It’s my birthday month (hello Libra szn), but it’s also pregnancy and infant loss awareness month and our fourth anniversary of losing our first baby. It’s a month I used to celebrate because of my birthday, but then it became a month of a significant loss that still hurts. If you’re listening to this episode and grieving or waiting, I am sorry. It’s a shitty club to be part of. However, I will tell you in this club, I found some of the most remarkable women along the way. I share my story because I don’t want other women to feel alone like I did at times. YOU are not alone.

No one really “gets” it unless they’ve been through it themselves. This kind of loss is unlike any.

In this episode, I share our four pregnancy loss journey and what it took to have our daughter. I discuss some resources that helped me get through it and even how we process it today. I included key timestamps just in case you need to skip certain parts. Completely understand.
