Miscarriage Matters
Miscarriage is the most common complication of pregnancy with 1 in 4 women experiencing at least one miscarriage during their reproductive lifetime. A miscarriage is the loss of a baby before 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Contrary to the widespread belief that early pregnancy is too soon to grieve a loss, or that only mothers feel bereft, medical research charity Tommy’s have found profound psychological effects on both parents. And yet, a woman currently has to go through 3 miscarriages before she is offered care or treatment.
Experts Hanine Fourie and Anna Nella discuss early, later, and reccurent miscarriage, and explore some of the current areas of research and care pathways available.

From Hysteria to PMS: Women's Premenstrual Experience
Gabriella Kountourides traces the history of PMS, discussing how it has gone through several re-inventions, from labelling women as 'hysterical' and moving to pre-menstrual tension. A feminist lens is used to discuss how the labelling of women’s experiences before their period as a ‘syndrome’ could have helped to keep them out of the workplace. To conclude, the talk also discusses the state of current research on PMS and hypotheses on why some women experience PMS.
