Ep 19: How Not Honoring Your Baby Might Be Affecting You

Ep 19: How Not Honoring Your Baby Might Be Affecting You

Author: Natalee Facey February 21, 2021 Duration: 46:31

As a Birth Warrior you know that there are certain dates that are especially hard to work through: the anniversary of your baby's estimated due date, the anniversary of the day they entered the world, and the anniversary of the day they left. 

 

My son's birthday was on February 14th and boy were my emotions high as I moved closer to the date! In the first year after his transition, I remember being so uncertain about what to do that I ended up doing nothing at all. I hated the gaping hole I felt afterwards, and so this year, I decided that I would absolutely do something to honor him. And I did. What I was left with was a sense of peace and even joyfulness. (FYI...I noticed I mistakenly said that Feb 14 was his "Angel-versary" during the podcast. It was actually in March when he made his transition. ie, when he became an angel. He was born on Feb 14)

 

This week's podcast is an exploration into the MANY ways that not doing something to honor your baby ends up affecting you...and in actually, affecting all the spaces that require your presence. I walk you through what happens in your mind and body why that's the case, and really accessible ways that you can honor your baby and have that experience contribute to your ongoing healing.

Navigating the path toward another pregnancy after a loss or trauma is a deeply personal and often isolating experience. Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss offers a compassionate space for this unique journey, hosted by Natalee Facey. As a mother to two angel babies herself, as well as a Resilience Coach and Birth Doula, Natalee brings both professional insight and profound personal understanding to each conversation. This podcast gently addresses the complex layers-emotional, physical, and mental-that accompany family planning after experiences like infertility, traumatic birth, or infant loss. Episodes weave together practical guidance on health and fitness with essential discussions on inner healing and emotional resilience. You’ll hear honest dialogues, strategies for rebuilding hope, and reflections on transforming grief into a source of strength. It’s more than just an educational resource; it’s about finding a supportive voice that acknowledges the fear and courage that coexist when considering pregnancy again. Through this podcast, Natalee aims to foster a sense of community and grounded preparation, helping you reconnect with your own body and spirit on your own terms.
