Look to the Moon Podcast - Discussing topics such as birth, trauma and baby loss.
In this episode of Look to the Moon, we talk openly about mental health after birth trauma and baby loss, and the support options available for those navigating grief. We share our first-hand experiences with going to therapy, speaking to a GP, considering medication, and reaching out to baby loss charities.
Two and a half years after our own loss and trauma, we are still navigating the emotional ups and downs, learning to live alongside grief, and searching for hope. Whether you’re experiencing postnatal trauma, pregnancy loss, or the mental health challenges that follow, we want you to know you are not alone and that help is out there.
With love,
Jodie & Nicole x

We are back after a few weeks off. In Episode 18 we sit down and share a life update, as well as discussing travelling with toddlers, which, let's face it, can be super stressful. As summer rolls on, we reflect on the past year and how far the podcast has reached coming up to our 1st anniversary.

In Episode 16 we sit down with Cara who shares her story of losing her beautiful baby boy, Lochlan. At 21 weeks and 4 days gestation, Cara noticed a small amount of blood after going to the bathroom. Deciding to get checked out, it was discovered that Cara cervix was weakened and the doctors could see her membranes. After various interventions (including a cervical stitch), Lochlan was born at 22 weeks and 6 days gestation. After 9 long days in NICU, beautiful baby Lochlan passed away. We sit with Cara as she shares her incredibly emotional journey, just over 1 year after Lochlan's passing.

Part 1 of 2.
In Episode 13 we still down with Ciara who shares her story of losing her beautiful baby boy, Luca. Ciara's health took a turn in the late stages of pregnancy and Luca was born via an emergency C-Section at 38 weeks 6 days. The complications the Ciara experienced were due to a placenta abruption, which caused Luca to be born with severe HIE. Ciara also was in critical condition and wasn't awake for the birth of baby Luca. Episode 13 starts at the beginning of this Irish family's story. It was an incredibly emotional episode and we are privileged that Ciara took the time and strength to share her story with us.

In Episode 12 we sit down with Erin (a follow podcaster!), who talks to us from all the way across the pond, over in the USA. Erin talks to us about her life post lost and how this impacts her life as a busy mum of 3. We delve into how loss can be processed in many different ways and the emotions that follow in the grieving process. Talking to Erin made us realise, mum guilt is a 'thing' and we all seem to suffer with it, in one way or another. You will be captivated, as we were, by Erin's infectious energy and her positive outlook on life.

Post pregnancy health seems like an after thought for most women, when their main focus has been growing and nurturing another human. Women's health falls low on the priority list when you have others depending on you. But how can we be the best versions of ourselves when we ignore our health and well-being. In Episode 11 we talk about that dreaded term 'BMI' once again, weight loss and how gestational diabetes can impact life and health post baby.

March 2023 I was 22 pregnant with our second daughter, when my waters broke. Less than a week later our beautiful Luna was born at 23 weeks. She amazed us all with her strength, but after several complications and failings in her care, we tragically lost her at 8 days old. As a way to cope and hopefully help others, we discuss our trauma and loss in more detail.
