Episode 9: New Beginnings - Pregnancy After Loss and Trying Again with Jennie Parks, Jenny Williams, Kelly Ransdell, and Kristin Hernandez

Pregnancy can feel incredibly complicated after you’ve lost a baby. When is the right time to try to get pregnant again? How do we combat anxiety when our worst fear happened before? How can we wait well? What hope can we cling to when we are unable to carry more children?

Join us as Jennie Parks, Jenny Williams, Kelly Ransdell, and Kristin Hernandez dive deeper into the topic of pregnancy after loss and share their own unique experiences. Whether you are currently pregnant, walking through a season of waiting, unable to conceive, or anywhere else in your pregnancy after loss journey, there is something for you in this conversation.

Episode Transcript

 

Monthly Memory Verse:

"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” Ephesians 6:11-13
