That Shit Show : Amy the Midwife

Midwife Amy has an intimate understanding of what it’s like to lose a child – she lost her first baby at 24 weeks and suffered intense grief and PTSD.

Instead of moving away from the tragedy, Amy leaned in and retrained to become a midwife. This is how she found herself working in the same ward where she suffered her heartbreaking stillbirth. 

Now, Amy spends her working life on the frontline of life and death. Here she shares her story, and explains what’s needed if you want to support someone through pregnancy loss.
