A positive pregnancy test is supposed to be the beginning of an exciting chapter—but for nearly one in four pregnancies, it ends in loss. And despite how common miscarriage is, so many women are left feeling blindsided, isolated, and convinced they somehow did something wrong. In this episode, Dr. Lucky Sekhon and Dr. Alicia Robbins answer the questions every woman has about miscarriage, recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), and ectopic pregnancy. They explain what actually causes miscarriage, why most early pregnancy losses are due to chromosomal abnormalities—not anything you ate, lifted, or stressed about.
The conversation also takes a deep dive into ectopic pregnancy explaining what it is, why it can become life-threatening, the warning signs that should never be ignored, and how doctors diagnose and treat it with medication or surgery. Finally, they discuss what physical and emotional recovery after pregnancy loss really looks like, when it's safe to try again, and why hope is still incredibly justified, even after recurrent miscarriages.
