Amy and I connected on Instagram shortly after her first and only child, Carter, was stillborn in July 2022. She is a total grief vibe as she still laughs, experiences joy and deals with her grief and coping in a way that is her own. Never receiving answers as to what happened to Carter, she has entered into pregnancy after loss. She has decided to relinquish control in some way and trust that things will work out.

We talk about

  • Her story
  • Grief after stillbirth
  • Getting answers
  • Her grief vibe
  • Ok to laugh and experience life again
  • Denying the autopsy
  • Respecting partners' wishes
  • Her doctors being on top of this new pregnancy
  • Having a looming feeling but not with her rainbow
  • How the techs handle ultrasounds/not reading charts
  • Sharing information about our experiences and having people not think it could happen to them
  • Drinking during pregnancy
  • Believing that this could actually happen and we end up with a living baby
  • Deciding that it's ok to not be ok, BUT it's also ok to be ok.
  • Getting up from the ground and not going back down.
  • Digging ourselves out of the trenches
  • And so much more...
