Baby Loss, Grief & Love
S8, E4 - Uterine rupture, birth trauma & neonatal death
On this weeks episode Kelly welcomes Ruby to the podcast. Ruby joins us all the way from the South of France and shares her journey through birth trauma, and the loss of her son, Otto.
At 35 weeks, Ruby experienced an emergency C-section after a rare uterine rupture, events that left her in complete shock, fighting both mental and physical pain. Her son, Otto, was born with severe brain damage, unable to breathe on his own and facing a life of constant suffering. With love as the guiding force, Ruby and her partner made the heartbreaking decision to let him go, choosing to carry the pain so he wouldn’t have to.
This podcast is a space to honour Otto’s brief but beautiful life and to speak openly about neonatal loss, traumatic birth and the unanswered questions that follow. Ruby and Kelly discuss feelings of guilt and about the “what ifs,” the invisible weight of rare complications and the importance of listening to our instincts.
Ruby’s mission is to collect comprehensive information from families affected by uterine rupture, with the goal of improving early detection and prevention.
Above all, this is a story about surviving the unthinkable, learning to be gentle with yourself and finding strength in vulnerability.
