Ectopic pregnancy is something many women don’t fully understand — until they’re faced with it.
In this episode, Dr. Leah sits down with Sophia Pavia, The TTC Nutritionist, to share her deeply personal and recent experience with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy — a life-threatening condition that often comes as a complete shock.
Sophia walks us through the early signs, the unexpected diagnosis, what she went through physically and emotionally, and what she wishes more women knew. They also discuss potential contributing factors, what to watch for if something feels off, and how to advocate for yourself in moments that matter most.
If you’re trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or simply want to be more informed about your body, this is an important and eye-opening conversation — one that could help you recognize the signs and take action sooner.
Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of pregnancy loss.
