S12 E8 - Liz, Incompetent cervix & pregnancy after loss

This week we chat to Liz from oop north. 

Liz suffered the loss of her baby whilst on holiday for her 30th in Portugal. She and her husband Chris faced language barriers, different hospital procedures and a challenging lack of empathy whilst facing the most difficult days of their lives. 

Liz talks us through her diagnosis of an incompetent cervix when she got back to the UK and how that medical terminology affected her mental wellbeing. 

Following their loss, Liz and Chris have gone on to have baby Archie, Liz speaks about the anxiety during her pregnancy and how she advocated for a cervical stitch. 

Liz wanted to come on the podcast to share a story of hope for anyone diagnosed with an incompetent cervix.
