Dr. Aimee Baron discusses the nuances of fertility and pregnancy losses with grief educators Chaya Hott, Talia Mizrahi, M.S., and Shirel Korobkin.

In this episode, Dr. Baron sits down with Chaya Hott, Talia Mizrahi, M.S., and Shirel Korobkin, grief educators and support group leaders at I Was Supposed To Have A Baby to discuss the nuances and differences between various types of fertility and pregnancy losses. The conversation explores how all reproductive pain is deeply valid without turning grief into a competition.
