#6 Priya - Breaking the Baby loss silence

Today's guest is Priya, she has joined me during Baby Loss Awareness Week to talk about her son Shayen. Priya gave birth to Shayen at full term, he was born sleeping. 

Priya walks me through that harrowing moment she was told there was no heartbeat with her husband and family by her side. 

Diversity in loss is the entire fabric of Bereavement Room Podcast and what we often see is that the mainstream excludes the voices of the diaspora and our experience.

Priya and I discuss cultural barriers, the need for further education around pregnancy and statistics where women from Black and South Asian communities are disproportionately effected by baby loss and maternal deaths with Black women at risk the most. 

To donate to her fundraising page and help raise money for a bereavement suite please follow her on instagram.

To get in touch me you can find me on instagram and twitter.

As always thanks for listening. 

I am your host,
