Episode 10- Amanda Fay- Losing a Pregnancy & Allowing Yourself To Grieve To Find Peace & Gratitude

SENSITIVE

Amanda Fay is a Pre/Postnatal Corrective Exercise & Diastasis Specialist, head coach for Fit For Birth, the founder and owner of The Functional Bump, LLC (https://thefunctionalbump.com/) and a coach at her local Orange Theory Fitness. At the end of January, she shared her experience with a missed miscarriage. Amanda was ten weeks and three days pregnant when she went in for an ultrasound that pronounced her first pregnancy was no longer viable.

Amanda shares her full 12-week experience with me in an incredibly brave & powerful episode. Whether you've experienced a miscarriage or not, this episode is a must listen for any woman.

For women who know they’re pregnant, about 10 to 15 in 100 pregnancies (10 to 15 percent) end in miscarriage. Most miscarriages happen in the first trimester before the 12th week of pregnancy. Miscarriage in the second trimester (between 13 and 19 weeks) happens in 1 to 5 in 100 (1 to 5 percent) pregnancies.

As many as half of all pregnancies may end in miscarriage. We don’t know the exact number because a miscarriage may happen before a woman knows she’s pregnant. Most women who miscarry go on to have a healthy pregnancy later. (MarchOfDimes.org)
