Houston's 90.1FM hosts a show on natural parenting called The Whole Mother Show. It's hosted by the mother-of-all-Houston-midwives, Pat Jones, CNM, and has greatly influenced my choices in motherhood.
Monday's topic was about miscarriage and pregnancy loss. She interviewed two women in the natural birthing community who've had several miscarriages: Rebecca Miller, owner of Nurtured Family and Pam Crespo, a homebirth assistant. I truly thank them for opening up about their many losses. At least someone is talking about it and I sincerely pray this helps other moms who've endured the same. What interested me about this program was that it presented a more natural side of miscarriage and the differences in health care between midwife care and traditional obgyn treatment. The emotional complexities, grieving issues, and facts about miscarriage were also mentioned.
