Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month

October 15, 2017

It is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. Women’s health topics are becoming easier to talk about, and that’s wonderful, because pregnancy and birth are topics so complex, we still do not always understand why they turn out the way they do.

If we lose a pregnancy or a child, that can leave a hole behind and…

Then it goes into our stomach and small intestine where it’s broken down…
