Have you heard of the term Goiter?

A goiter (GOI-tur) is an abnormal enlargement of your thyroid gland. Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck just below your Adam’s apple. Although goiters are usually painless, a large goiter can cause a cough and make it difficult for you to swallow or breathe.

oday’s guest thought she was showing signs of early menopause and doctors found a goiter on her thyroid and questioned her fertility.

Then as the world began to shut down she experienced a miscarriage at home with extreme blood loss resulting in a blood transfusion.

In this episode, Shanicka takes us back on her personal thyroid journey, miscarrying at home that resulted in a blood transfusion, and how she is surviving pregnancy loss with her faith in God and becoming a Sisters in Loss Birth & Bereavement Doula.
