The anxiety a woman experiences during a pregnancy after a miscarriage is unexplainable. The anxiety a woman experiences after Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) is what I would consider traumatic. I didn’t know what to do with this type of trauma, all I knew is that I just wanted to be safe in my bed and hide from the pain.
