Now available: Our new Birth & Medical Trauma Loss Support Group 💙

Led by trained peer facilitators, this group is for birthing persons who have experienced birth and/or medical trauma while also grieving the death of their baby. This space acknowledges the weight of both realities: the physical and emotional impact of a traumatic birth and the grief of loss.

You may have felt unheard, unsupported, or out of control during your childbirth experience. You may find yourself reliving moments, avoiding reminders, or carrying emotions that feel heavy. On top of that, you are navigating the deep pain of living without your child. You deserve a place where both your trauma and your loss are recognized and supported.

Here, you are not alone, and you are not to blame. While we honor that your story has value, we do not process detailed birth stories in this space, as they can be triggering to others. Instead, we focus on understanding the effects of trauma, exploring emotions, sharing the unique challenges of grieving after birth trauma & loss, and practicing coping strategies together.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month — a time to honor the babies we carry in our hearts and the parents who continue to shine through unimaginable loss. 💗

Experiencing multiple pregnancy losses is not just physically challenging — it profoundly affects mental health. Research shows that recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is associated with increased levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. Factors such as reduced social support and lower educational levels can further impact mental well-being.

If you’re navigating this journey, know that you’re not alone. Support is available, and healing is possible.

Read our latest blog to learn more about RPL and its mental health impacts:
