The Postpartum Years
Postpartum Without a Baby: Dr. Julie Bindeman on Pregnancy Loss
When you lose a pregnancy, your body doesn't know that. It still goes through the hormonal shift, and depending on how far along you were, your milk may still come in. Dr. Julie Bindeman is a psychotherapist who specializes in reproductive mental health, and she joins Dr. Mary Ellen Kramp to talk about what pregnancy loss -- from failed embryo transfer to stillbirth -- actually does to a person: physically, psychologically, and socially. They cover the "reproductive story" we build long before we ever conceive, the grief of losing a future you had already written, the painful experience of the untelling, and what people around someone who has lost a pregnancy can do instead of disappearing.
