The Still Hopeful Podcast
Welcome to The Still Hopeful Podcast, where we talk about the twists and turns of pregnancy after loss and the highs and lows of life postpartum. I’m Serena, a mom who knows this journey firsthand. My first baby, my sweet Christopher, was stillborn at full term, and now I hold my precious baby girl, Veronica, in my arms. Christopher’s loss, the uncertainty of pregnancy afterward, and the joy of welcoming Veronica home are all parts of my story.
I created this podcast to share my experience and connect with others who understand. Here, we’ll talk openly about grief, the challenges of pregnancy after loss, and the ups and downs of parenting all of our babies. Whether you’re navigating a new pregnancy after experiencing pregnancy loss, or parenting after loss, you’re not alone. Let’s walk this road together with honesty, hope, and healing.

Episode 27: Shannon's Story of Hope: Trying to Conceive After Recurrent Losses
You are going to love Shannon; She is uplifting & heart-warming and I enjoyed every second of our conversation together. In this episode, Shannon shares her story of four consecutive miscarriages. She bravely opens up about what her experiences were like in the ultrasound room after each loss; hearing the dreaded words that there is no heartbeat and seeing her baby one last time on the ultrasound. Shannon talks about the tests that she has done to find answers and is now open to trying to conceive again. All of this is incredibly unfair and makes for a lonely journey. We talk about grief, guilt, and navigating everyday life with triggers all around us. We even find ways to laugh and find hope.
I hope this episode helps moms who have experienced recurrent loss feel less alone and that they find a friend in Shannon. And for those who haven't experienced pregnancy loss, but are listening in as a supportive friend, my hope is that this episode gives you insight into the raw and isolating world of having to say goodbye too soon to our babies.
