Pregnancy and Infant Loss & Perinatal Mental Health: When it's more than the Blues

Oct 20, 2022

October is pregnancy & infant loss awareness month. Thousands of families are devastated each year by the death of their baby. But the grief of these families and the value of their babies’ lives are very rarely acknowledged.  In this episode, Amie and Sara discuss Perinatal Mood Disorder and Pregnancy loss. We also discuss how we coped with loss in our professional and personal experiences and signs and symptoms of perinatal mood disorders. It's ok to not be ok. Mental health matters.
