EP.37: I was Supposed to Have a Baby with Aimee Baron, MD

In today's Episode of Get Intuit with Gila, I sit down with Aimee Baron.

Aimee Baron MD, FAAP, is the founder and executive director of I Was Supposed to Have a Baby, a nonprofit organization that utilizes social media to support Jewish individuals and families as they are struggling to have a child. It provides a warm and nurturing space for those going through infertility, pregnancy loss, infant loss, surrogacy or adoption, in addition to connecting those families to resources in the Jewish community at large.

Dr. Baron was formerly the Director of Innovation and Growth at NechamaComfort, and has also worked as an Attending Pediatrician in the Newborn Nursery and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital before taking a leave of absence after her third miscarriage.

We address some extremely important, heavy topics having to do with pregnancy and infant loss. We acknowledge that there is so much pain around this topic and there is also a lot of misunderstanding. People who are already suffering do not needed the added pain of suffering alone.

We need to discuss our pain with other people who get it and can support us through it. We must give ourselves permission to grieve in the way that feels right to us. All feelings are welcome and sometimes, just staying in bed is what we need to do to get through the day.

Aimee explains that this organization that she created is the organization she needed when she was in the thick of her pain. Now, thank G-d, that period is behind her, but she has created a space for the women in our community who are suffering and need support.

I strongly believe, that in all the darks parts of our lives, we must get the support that we need. Self care isn't a luxury, it is part of surviving and getting to the other side of the pain.

Aimee's information is listed below. Please reach out to her for anything you need related to this topic. She is an incredible person and she has devoted her life to helping women in our community who are struggling.
