There's a documentary on the TVNZ+ app called 'Misconceptions: First Trimester Miscarriages' so we wanted to share this with our bereaved community 💜 It provides a deep look into the complexities, myths, and insight of miscarriages to help people feel they are not alone in dealing with a tragic life event. With interviews from well-known New Zealanders such as Miriama Kamo, Kaiora Tipene and Stacey Morrison as well as others who have experienced this heartbreaking loss.
