Molly Dutton Kenny is a midwife, advocate, and educator promoting a full scope and spectrum of midwifery practice to support holistic, comprehensive reproductive care. One of the things that drew me to Molly is her promotion of home-based care as the norm for reproductive management, including holistic support for abortion care and pregnancy loss.
Filling the void of education and care around abortion, miscarriage, and pregnancy loss
Woven throughout Molly’s studies in fertility, midwifery, and childbearing was a deep study into holistic care for pregnancy loss and abortion. Too many of her clients had experienced previous abortions or losses without adequate support and Molly could see the effects in later pregnancies. Her own experience of four losses herself grounded Molly in a deep reverence for the power of the body, and a deep void of education and care around abortion, miscarriage, and pregnancy loss.
The specialized focus of Molly’s midwifery study is supporting at-home, holistic options for people experiencing pregnancy loss of all kinds, and writing and teaching on the topic with other midwives and reproductive health care workers.
In this episode we dive into:
- How common and normal are pregnancy losses?
- Why might it be a good thing to stay at home for my pregnancy loss?
- How safe is it for me to wait out a pregnancy loss?
- What should I expect a pregnancy loss at home to feel like?
- The loss is real and that there is a spirit we can connect to.
- What herbal support is there for my pregnancy loss at home?
- What are some warning symptoms that I would need to take seriously?
- Why am I bleeding so much in this pregnancy loss?
- Do I need postpartum care after a pregnancy loss or abortion?
