What No Mom Told You Podcast

We want to be helpful when people we love are suffering, but why is it so hard to say the right thing?

You don’t have to say the right thing, BUT here are some things we know are not so helpful to say to a friend who has just lost a pregnancy:

“Everything happens for a reason” 🚫
“It was God’s plan” 🚫
“You can always have another baby” 🚫

And some things that can be helpful:

“I’m thinking about you and your baby”✔️
“Do you want to tell me about (insert baby’s name if possible)?”✔️
“I’m going to bring over dinner tomorrow. Let me know if you have any allergies or preferences” ✔️

Listen to the full episode with Dr. Solimar Santiago-Warner, where she breaks down the layers of grief following pregnancy and infant loss and gives practical tools for loved ones to help carry the load.
