Hello, I'm Katy Bradbury, a qualified Nutritional Therapist, Private Health Visitor and qualified nurse. I have worked in Women's Health, Maternal and Children's Health for many years.
Today's podcast is "Four tests the NHS is not yet doing to investigate miscarriage." Today's podcast is a more practically focused episode following last week and what we may do about pregnancy loss. One in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage. Many women who attend my practice feel like they are not heard or understood by their healthcare providers.
