Ang lost her beautiful daughter, Sophia Grace, at full term in June 2025. In this episode, she shares the excitement of discovering she was pregnant after being diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis, walks us through her pregnancy, and speaks about the difficult circumstances surrounding Sophia Grace’s loss. To honor her daughter’s memory, Ang and her partner created Sophia Grace Scents, a wax melt small business that donates proceeds to baby loss charities. Ang’s story is one of profound resilience in the face of baby loss. I am so grateful for her vulnerability and openness in sharing her story.

Ashley experienced three miscarriages—two in the second trimester due to cervical insufficiency/incompetent cervix—before having her living son. After her third loss, she decided to pursue a transabdominal cerclage, which allowed her to carry her son to term. She also created a YouTube channel documenting her experiences with pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss with the cerclage. Ashley’s channel became an incredible source of comfort and hope for me following my miscarriage, and I can’t thank her enough for sharing her story.

In this episode, my guest, Shakira, walks us through the loss of her twin boys, Micaiah and Isaiah. She describes her excitement at finding out she was pregnant again after having two living children, the concerns that started brewing shortly after learning she was expecting twins, and the traumatic circumstances surrounding their birth at 19 weeks. She also delves into her experience with pregnancy after loss.

Following her loss, Shakira has been working to raise awareness about second-trimester loss, as well as to improve bereavement care for parents in the UK. I am so grateful to Shakira for her vulnerability and strength in this episode, and for her commitment to supporting other parents grieving the loss of a child.

My guest, Katie, and I met on Instagram through our pages dedicated to pregnancy loss. In this episode, she introduces us to her beautiful daughter, Leona. Katie walks us through the excitement of discovering she was pregnant, navigating high-risk doctor’s appointments, and the circumstances surrounding Leona’s passing at 21 weeks due to a suspected knot in the umbilical cord.

She also shares the story behind Leona’s Legacy Ministry, an initiative she created in her daughter’s honor. Through this ministry, Katie makes tiny blanket sets for babies born too soon, offering comfort to families in their most devastating moments.

I am deeply grateful to Katie for her vulnerability in sharing her story and for her dedication to supporting grieving parents as they navigate life after pregnancy loss.

Welcome to the Silent Cradles Podcast, where we hear from women who have experienced a loss during what is commonly referred to as the "safe zone" of pregnancy. My name is Denise and, after losing my son Malachi at 14 weeks in March 2023, I realized that there were few resources dedicated to pregnancy loss in the second trimester. I created this podcast to help bring more awareness to second trimester loss. It is my hope that the stories of resilience highlighted on this podcast can serve as a helpful resource for anyone navigating life after pregnancy loss.

Thank you for listening.
