What happens when miscarriage involves lots of bleeding? Melissa's Birth story + OBGYN insights

Today’s guest walked into pregnancy with reservations. She’d done a fair amount of research, as is her way, and understood that pregnancy, birth and postpartum were potentially a more difficult undertaking than movie depictions suggested.  Despite her avid preparation, she was, like most of us, taken by surprise.  She had to manage a hemorrhage during a miscarriage, and a birth experience that both tested her physical limits and her emotional resources, as her newborn required some experimental medical help. A few years out from these experiences, she can look back and appreciate all that she went through and what she learned from the experience, and revel in the joy of her energetic toddler.

I also include the insights of a fantastic OB and a pediatric critical care doctor.
