Interview Questions for Healthcare Providers

Hello

I'm working on a book called Miscarried: Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Miscarriage. It's a real, raw, and sometimes funny (because sometimes you have to laugh or you'll cry) exploration of miscarriage — looking at personal experiences, medical systems, cultural blind spots, and the human cost of silence.

I’m reaching out to healthcare workers because I believe that people who work inside the healthcare system, like you, have crucial insight that is often left out of conversations.

If you're willing, I'd love your input about your experiences caring for patients through pregnancy loss:

What training and tools were you given (or not given)

What the system allows — and what it doesn't

Where moral injury and burnout show up

What you need, and what you wish patients could have

My goal is to help readers see the full, complicated reality—not just for patients but also for those trying to care for them inside challenging systems.

Thank you for considering this. I know you’re carrying a lot — and I’m deeply grateful for whatever you're willing to share.

Warmly,
Bryn

Can you tell me a little about your role and how you’ve encountered miscarriage in your work?

How were you trained — or not trained — to support people experiencing pregnancy loss?

When someone experiences a miscarriage, what information and options are you able to offer? What are you not able to offer that you wish you could?

What gaps in training, protocols, or resources do you encounter most often?

Where do you find yourself most stuck between "what’s needed" and "what’s allowed" in the system?

Can you share a moment that really stayed with you, either because of how right it felt, or because of how wrong it was?

Do you feel that miscarriage is still treated as invisible, taboo, or minimized in the culture at large? How does that show up in the clinical setting?

What assumptions about pregnancy or miscarriage do you wish you could just erase from public consciousness?

What supports would you need to feel less isolated or compromised when helping people through miscarriage?
If you could change one policy, practice, or piece of training tomorrow, what would it be?

Have you ever had a miscarriage-related moment at work that was so absurd, infuriating, or heartbreaking that you had to laugh or scream?

Is there anything else you wish people knew about what it’s really like to care for people going through miscarriage?

Thank you so much for your time here and for the amazing, often thankless, work you are doing. Please know, this questionnaire is totally confidential- I am not collecting any identifying information from participants. If you would like to reach out to me, please email me at [email protected]
