Pregnancy After Recurrent Loss: Chloe Davidson on Trauma Brain, IVF and Emergency Surgery in the Second Trimester

Her Kind of Brave co-host Kellie Johnson interviews Chloe Davidson, co-owner of Mr Consistent, as Chloe opens up about pregnancy after loss — and why it can feel impossible to relax, even at 18 weeks.

Chloe shares the reality of IVF milestones, recurrent miscarriage trauma, and the constant fear that “something could still go wrong.” She speaks candidly about experiencing two subchorionic hematomas and bleeding in early pregnancy, then being hospitalised with severe pain at 13 weeks and discovering she needed gallbladder removal surgery during pregnancy.

This episode also captures the tender turning points — telling Layla she’s going to be a big sister, finding out it’s a baby boy, and learning how to sit with discomfort instead of feeding compulsions like endless scans and searching for reassurance.

If you’re navigating IVF, pregnancy after miscarriage, anxiety in pregnancy, or the emotional aftermath of loss, this episode will make you feel seen — and remind you you’re not “doing it wrong.” You’re responding to what you’ve lived.
