"I Thought Baby Loss Was My Fault" The Guilt and Isolation of Miscarriage

What actually happens after a miscarriage? Not just in the days immediately afterwards, but months and years down the line? In this episode of Cradle the Podcast, Kay speaks with Clare Campion about losing her baby to miscarriage and the long-term impact that loss had on her life for more than a decade. Clare opens up about the shock of discovering there was no heartbeat, the painful reality of undergoing miscarriage treatment in a maternity hospital surrounded by pregnant women, and the overwhelming anger, isolation, and guilt that followed. Clare shares her journey through hidden grief, why she avoided talking about her loss even in therapy, and how undergoing EMDR therapy more than 10 years later finally helped her process what happened.
