Miscarriage is more common than you think, affecting between 20-50% of pregnancies. The aftermath can be so hard for couples.

I talked to Amber Todd from about what to expect after pregnancy loss, treatment options (D&C vs. natural miscarriage), and how to heal physically and emotionally.

They discuss the trauma of receiving a miscarriage diagnosis, D&C vs. natural miscarriage treatment options, what to expect physically, genetic testing pros and cons, memorial options, how miscarriage affects marriage and intimacy, how men grieve differently, when to tray again, anxiety in pregnancy after loss, and more.

If you’ve experienced miscarriage or recurrent pregnancy loss, this comprehensive guide covers the medical decisions you’ll face, grief support for couples, and practical resources to help you navigate this difficult journey. Comment PODCAST and I’ll send you a link to listen or watch.

Should you have a provider break your water or wait for it to break on its own?

If your goal is a natural birth, you want to wait! Artificially breaking your water too early can lead to complications. If you DO choose an artificial rupture of membranes, wait until you’re further along in labor and sure it’s progressing well.

If you want a natural labor, you do NOT want to be induced.

At least not unless it’s really necessary. There ARE good reasons to induce labor to protect mom and/or baby. But too often the reasons for induction are more like “I’m tired of being pregnant” or “my doctor doesn’t want to come in the middle of the night.”

If you want to labor naturally, your best chance is to let it start naturally.

What are your secrets to success with natural hospital birth? Let me know in the comments!

Our Mission

To care for women and their families in a way that is scientifically and morally sound, while respecting a woman’s ability and right to manage her health, pregnancy care, and birth experience to the extent she desires. To accomplish this, we utilize the expertise of both Obstetricians/ Gynecologists and Certified Nurse-Midwives in a fully integrated model of care that allows both groups of professionals to offer their very best. The result: patients and their families receive personalized, comprehensive care they simply cannot receive in any other model of care.

We are an authentically pro-life practice. As part of our vision, we utilize Creighton Fertility Model/NaProTECHNOLOGY™ and therefore do not prescribe artificial contraceptives, place IUD’s, perform sterilization procedures, refer for in-vitro fertilization (IVF), or refer for or participate in pregnancy termination (abortion) under any circumstance.

We believe our practice is most certainly and purposefully different from most. It is not our desire to care for everyone, but to care for everyone that needs our unique approach to care. We believe unencumbered access to our providers is a key component to our successful outcomes. As such our patients are encouraged to communicate with us directly via the means that works best for them including cell phone, email, and text messaging. We believe it is an honor to serve as partners with our patients in their healthcare and we do everything possible to treat the sanctity of that relationship with the respect it deserves.
