Mom, What The Hell Is A Fallopian Tube? - Pregnancy and Loss with Mads

May 06, 2022 • Jess and Rach • Season 2 • Episode 27

CW: Pregnancy loss, miscarriage, abortion, grief

Jess and Rach are back together and they brought the 3rd member of TTP, Madison freaking Sharp. Mads hydrates from an interesting vessel, Jess talks about her droopy butt, and the girls get in a heated cottage cheese debate. Just a heads up that there were some major technical difficulties this episode, so Jess only makes it for the intro section. Mads and Rach got back together to rerecord the meat of the episode, so they had to relive their deepest trauma TWICE for the FB&W community - so give them some love.

The meat this week is about pregnancy and loss. Rachel tells the story of her recent ectopic pregnancy and emergency surgery she had to have, where she lost her pregnancy in the process. It's a heavy episode, supported by Madison and her experiences with her pregnancies, losses, and her journey to motherhood with her son Eric. Mads shares her perspective on seeing Rach and Josh go through this, and gives advice for people who are in partnerships where they not might be heard or safe. Rach and Mads try to shed light on a very difficult and painful process. If you are thinking they have all the answers... spoiler - they don't. We hope you feel supported, understood, and loved by us in this episode. We see you and your pain, and we want you to know you are not alone.

***Heads up that we try to use gender neutral language when approaching the topic of pregnancy and birth, but we are not perfect. People with uteruses are not always women, and not only women give birth. We are always working to be more inclusive with our language, and know that we have space to grow in this arena!
