Miscarriage Support

Pregnancy Loss Help

It is very normal for one to become emotionally distressed or unsteady following a miscarriage. The most important thing to know is that you are not alone in the experience. It is estimated that 1 in 4 women are affected by miscarriage.  Women may experience a roller coaster of emotions such as numbness, disbelief, anger, guilt, sadness, depression, and difficulty concentrating.  Even if the pregnancy ended very early, the sense of bonding between a mother and her baby can be strong. These symptoms include: fatigue, trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, loss of appetite, and frequent episodes of crying. The hormonal changes that occur after miscarriage may intensify these symptoms.

Unfortunately, miscarriage can affect anyone. Women are often left with unanswered questions regarding their physical recovery, their emotional recovery and trying to conceive again. It is very important that women try to keep the lines of communication open with family, friends, and health care providers during this time.
