S1. Ep 10 | Kristen - Stillbirth after compassionate induction, supporting siblings, genetic testing, NTD, VBAC, TFMR
Today's interview is with the beautiful Kristen who is a business owner, wife and mother to two earth bound boys and to her beautiful boy Nicholas who was born sleeping March 2018.
Sadly at Nicholas' 20 week ultrasound which Kristen and her husband had both joyfully brought their two boys along too, they received life altering news on Nicholas' and what this meant for him and their family.
Kristen and Nicholas' story is one of unsurpassable love and the decisions no parent should ever be faced with.
It is unfortunate that this is a space that is shared with so many families and Sarah our host has had to bear the burden of this life changing and lifelong "decision".
Please remember this is a safe space and we are all here with empty arms no matter how the story unfolds, our wanted children sadly leave us.

The Still Mama Tribe Holiday Special - Bonus Episode
Today we bring you a very special episode, just in time for the holiday season. As loss mamas, we know this time can be stressful, difficult and sad to face without having your baby and the life you imagined. Which can be even more difficult when everyone else seems to be merry and bright.
​
Sarah and Megan asked our Instagram Tribe what kinds of things YOU do to remember, connect with and honour your baby at Christmas and through the New Year season. We share some beautiful ideas that our Tribe wrote in, we hope you enjoy listening and maybe even adopt a ritual or two, if they resonate.
​
We wish all of our listeners love and peace throughout the holidays.

Sarah & Megan xx
