In this crucial episode, our hosts are joined by Pink Elephants Service Delivery Manager Sophie Porter to dissect the traumatic reality of the "silence of scans" and the broken models of care for early pregnancy loss, drawing on both her research and lived experience.

Sophie shares that literature and community stories clearly show that when women's needs are unmet at the point of care, their grief is compounded, often leading to long-term anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The current system frequently routes women to Emergency Departments, forcing them to wait for hours—often next to patients with minor injuries—because their loss is classified as "non-urgent." This experience strips them of dignity and is exacerbated by a lack of sensitive communication.

The "profound silence" often begins during the scan, where the sonographer’s blank face delivers the devastating news without words. This silence reverberates, leaving women to advocate for themselves in a system that fails to meet their basic needs. This deficient care is not limited to public hospitals; it is also reported in fertility clinics and is particularly severe in rural and remote settings, where a lack of services strips women of autonomy and may expose them to inappropriate settings like maternity wards.

Sophie and the host agree that the issue is systemic—a failure of public health to unite physical and mental well-being—and is no longer acceptable. The urgent change needed is the implementation of new policy guidelines and comprehensive, mandated training in sensitive communication for all health professionals, from receptionists to GPs. The status quo is not good enough.

S2: E5: The Silence of Scans: Why the Healthcare System Fails Women After Pregnancy Loss

In this candid episode, the host welcomes Jackie Maloney to share her journey through recurrent pregnancy loss and her fierce advocacy for the grief community in Western Australia.

Jackie recounts the devastation of her first loss which led to intense, unmanaged anger and isolation, where her coping mechanism was to return to work immediately and silence any conversation about her grief. Two years later, a second loss was terrifying. Jackie explains that her losses disrupted her personal narrative and identity, leaving her currently childless not by choice and struggling daily with triggering questions like, "How many children do you have?"

The second loss was a turning point, which prompted her to "do things differently." She shared openly and discovered a widespread hidden community of women who thanked her for finding the words they couldn't. This experience taught her to articulate her needs by asking friends to switch from, "How are you?" to "What can I do?" and to simply acknowledge the difficult due dates.

Jackie has channelled her pain into purpose by becoming the Chair of the King Edward Memorial Hospital Rose Garden committee in Western Australia. This beautiful, hidden sanctuary holds the ashes of an estimated 45,000 lost babies. Jackie highlights the garden's power as a safe, physical space for grieving mothers to connect and reflect, creating the vital ritual so often missed after early loss.

The episode concludes with a powerful call to action: The "gap" after leaving the hospital—where women are given no follow-up and no information for emotional support—must be filled. Jackie argues that the alarmingly different levels of care are unacceptable and only exacerbate the disenfranchised grief felt by those searching for validation.

S2: E4: Purpose From Pain: Finding Sanctuary After Recurrent Loss

In this candid and vulnerable episode, Stacey welcomes Sarah Viliamu, a fierce advocate and content creator, to discuss navigating the deep isolation of recurrent pregnancy loss and the lingering anxieties of a subsequent pregnancy.

Sarah shares her personal experience of enduring a missed miscarriage and a subsequent second loss after a complicated conception journey for her second child. She speaks openly about the profound grief that consumed over a year of her life, highlighting the intense shock of being told she was miscarrying despite feeling perfectly fine. This period of loss was made even more difficult while simultaneously trying to show up as a parent to her five-year-old son and managing public-facing work.

Now in her third trimester with a rainbow baby girl, Sarah reveals that the losses robbed her of the joy often associated with pregnancy. She felt compelled to hide the pregnancy from her eldest son to spare him the confusion and sadness of another potential loss, a painful choice illustrating the lasting impact of her trauma.

The core of the discussion centres on the power of connection and sharing. Sarah emphasizes that vocalization is key to stopping the cycle of rumination and dark thoughts. She strongly advocates for finding safe environments to share, praising Pink Elephants' support groups. Even if the response from friends or family isn't what's expected the act of journaling or naming your feelings is cathartic and healing. Finally, Sarah shares her daily practice of matching negative thoughts with gratitude to manage the constant anxiety that remains even in the final stage of her pregnancy.

S2: E3: From Shock to Support: Reclaiming Joy After Recurrent Loss

In this vital episode, Claire Brett, Pink Elephants' Rural and Regional Ambassador, offers a heartbreaking look at the reality of miscarriage and recurrent loss outside of metropolitan areas. Claire shares her personal journey through five losses (including a missed miscarriage) and the devastating lack of compassionate care and education she received.

Claire recounts the profound shock and isolation after her first loss. Seeking medical care, she encountered a specialist who callously dismissed her anxieties, claiming women "overdramatize." She was forced to hide her grief just to secure a necessary procedure, illustrating a painful survival tactic where the medical system minimizes a woman's pain and inhibits emotional healing.

For regional women, the logistics of loss and subsequent pregnancies are terrifying. Claire highlights a massive "equitable access" gap, sharing that she had a panic attack while driving 65km alone for a vital scan during her successful pregnancy. This anxiety is fuelled by systemic issues:

 * Extended Waits: Weeks to see a GP and days-long delays for vital blood test results intensify Pregnancy After Loss (PAL) anxiety.
 * Dangerous Travel: Accessing essential procedures often requires driving hundreds of kilometres to a city hospital.

Claire argues that rural patients "don’t choose to go to hospital and have no support"—they deserve the same standard of care. She calls for two critical changes to address this safety deficit:

 1. National Rollout of Early Pregnancy Assessment Services (EPAS).
 2. Specialized PAL Care with unique, consistent support.

Finally, Claire demands that hospitals treat a miscarriage with the same post-delivery accountability as a live birth, requiring mandatory mental health check-ins before discharge.

S2: E2: The Rural Divide: Miscarriage, Isolation, and the Fight for Safe Care

Welcome back to The Miscarriage Rebellion! Season 2 launches with a powerful catch-up, reflecting on significant organizational milestones and deep personal journeys. The hosts celebrate major advancements in the early pregnancy loss space, particularly for Pink Elephants, which has secured crucial federal government funding. Host Stacey officially joins the organization, now running the Grief and Grace program, offering new hope and bringing her professional expertise to the community.

Stacey shares the challenging context of her journey: she was pregnant with her "rainbow baby," Sonny, while recording Season 1, a pregnancy that followed seven miscarriages and involved the loss of a twin. She explains that the decision to share her story now reflects the reality that there is no "right time" to share, especially when grief is compounded by multiple losses. This vulnerability highlights the immense courage and resilience required to navigate the acute anxiety of Pregnancy After Loss (PAL) while working in the space.

Our hosts emphasize that the emotional fallout from loss often infiltrates parenting after loss, causing heightened fear. Sam shares her personal experience, noting that while she struggled with dissociation and anxiety after her first baby, seeking early support in her subsequent pregnancy profoundly shifted her experience. This demonstrated that timely support can help parents process trauma and reclaim the time that felt stolen by the continuous cycle of loss.

As they look ahead, Sam and Stacey confirm that Season 2 will focus on amplifying diverse voices, and affirm the importance of emotional literacy, and providing peer support as essential tools for validating the miscarriage experience and transforming the grieving process.

EPISODE 10: How Lived Experiences Shape Medical Perspectives with Dr Mariam Chaalan and Dr Ali Hodgkinson

Today’s episode follows Haley's deeply personal and emotional journey through recurrent early pregnancy loss. Beginning with an unexpected pregnancy during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Haley recounts her experiences of miscarriages, the emotional toll they took on her and her family, and the difficulties of navigating the healthcare system.

Haley suffered immensely. These experiences had a profound impact on her mental health, highlighting the silence and lack of support that often accompany early pregnancy loss. Haley shares the emotional struggles, the trauma of repeated miscarriages, and the determination that drove her to pursue IVF. This episode also touches on the complex emotions surrounding pregnancy after loss and the anxiety that often lingers throughout.

As her story unfolds, Haley reflects on the societal pressure to keep pregnancies a secret until after the first trimester, leading to feelings of isolation and disenfranchised grief.

Despite all of these challenges, Haley's story is one of resilience, hope and determination, and the eventual joy of welcoming her beautiful rainbow baby, Pax.
