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
