Miscarriage Support

Many people express feeling alone, isolated, or lacking in the support they want and need both during and after experiencing a miscarriage. While each person experiences miscarriage in their own way, it is typically a time of major physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual shifts.

And wherever your emotions range and change over time—angry, sad, relieved, lonely, overwhelmed—having the care of a midwife can help support your physical process, decision-making, questions, emotions, relationships, and connection to local resources.

I can offer many different kinds of potential support, depending on your specific wants and needs:

  • On-call support as needed, as well as scheduled appointments

  • Space to listen, support, and bear witness to your experience during and after your miscarriage

  • Ongoing check-ins about whether your physical process of miscarriage is likely to come to a natural completion, or if interventions might be helpful to the process

  • Discussion about the full range of options available for any clinical miscarriage care you would like, including hospital, clinic, and home-based options

  • Assessment of any symptoms, concerns, or complications and suggestions to ease or address symptoms as wanted

  • Holistic recommendations to support your mind, body, and spirit in the miscarriage process, such as nutrition, herbs, and acupuncture

  • Support you in making any desired plans for ceremony, ritual, or marking of your miscarriage process and experience

  • Referrals and connection to community resources as wanted for information, support, and other types of care

  • Discussion of fertility, sexuality, and future conception, as wanted and relevant to your individual needs

  • My recommendation is for a full 6-8 weeks of post-miscarriage care, similar to other post-pregnancy care I offer, but we can tailor the plan to your needs
