In this powerful and deeply moving episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we sit down with Indra, a Glasgow-based theatre maker, to explore the raw and unspoken reality of pregnancy loss at a young age. Indra shares her personal journey of grief, isolation, and ultimately, transformation through art.At just 13 weeks into an unplanned pregnancy, Indra experienced a silent miscarriage — a traumatic event made even more difficult by her youth, lack of romantic support, and societal stigma. In this candid conversation, she opens up about the lack of validation and support, particularly for young people navigating pregnancy loss outside of traditional family structures.We also discuss her new one-woman show, "Float", debuting at the Edinburgh Fringe as part of the Made in Scotland showcase. Using space metaphors and powerful storytelling, Indra reclaims her grief and invites the audience to see pregnancy loss through a new lens — one of love, maternal identity, and unspoken pain.What You’ll Hear in This Episode: The experience of miscarriage at 13 weeks and how the medical system responded Why grief looks different when you're not in a long-term relationship How societal expectations invalidate the experiences of young mothers The emotional and administrative "grief load" no one talks about How Indra turned trauma into healing by writing a theatre show How the show “Float” explores grief through the metaphor of a failed space mission Navigating dating and future motherhood after loss Building a support system and the importance of grief communitiesAbout “Float”: Set against the backdrop of space exploration, Float tells the story of a failed mission and an invisible loss. With projection, storytelling, and poetic metaphors, Indra reclaims her experience of miscarriage and challenges societal narratives around what makes a mother.About The Worst Girl Gang EverThe Worst Girl Gang Ever is a real, honest, and emotive podcast that covers the heartbreaking subject of miscarriage, infertility, and baby loss.

| S9 E12 | We need to end silence and increase science. Annie Peppiatt and Sharanam Soni on why science can remove the “what ifs” that plague bereaved mothers | 30 Jun 2025 | 00:45:57 | |
In this powerful episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we sit down with writer and grieving mother Annie Peppiatt, and placental researcher Sharanam Soni, to explore the devastating reality of stillbirth, the silent epidemic of placenta-related complications, and the hope rising through pioneering medical research into delayed villous maturation (DVM).Annie shares the raw and deeply personal story of losing her daughter, Ness, at 38 weeks of pregnancy, despite a previously healthy pregnancy. She speaks candidly about the trauma, guilt, and the haunting “what ifs” that plague so many bereaved mothers. We also explore her healing journey, including the inception of the Ness Fund, which now supports life-saving research into placental disorders at Tommy’s.Sharanam, a passionate reproductive science researcher, brings a unique perspective to the discussion - explaining the science behind delayed villous maturation, why it's so under-researched, and how this work could help identify at-risk pregnancies before it’s too late.This is an essential listen for: Parents who’ve experienced stillbirth or miscarriage Advocates of maternal and fetal health Health professionals seeking to understand grief and placental pathology Anyone navigating pregnancy after loss, reproductive trauma, or infertilityTogether, Annie and Sharanam are changing the narrative - from silence to science, from grief to legacy.About The Worst Girl Gang Ever:The Worst Girl Gang Ever is a real, honest, and emotive podcast that covers the heartbreaking subject of miscarriage, infertility, and baby loss.
