  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Still Hopeful podcast!

    Navigating pregnancy after loss can be isolating and something I learned very early on in my rainbow pregnancy is that we all need PAL pal - a pregnancy after loss pal. I’ll be that for you, my name is Serena and my firstborn, my sweet Christopher Jonathan was stillborn at 38 weeks. I created this podcast as a come with me, let’s figure this out together kind of deal. We’re going to cry, we’re going to laugh, we’re going to honour our Angel babies and their siblings. Join me week by week in your pregnancy and let’s figure this all out together.
