Image: October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss... - Massachusetts Chapter of ...

October is baby loss awareness month.

https://images.app.goo.gl/6Rt2K9XWrPcdxvsG9

Recently Chrissy Teigen and Jon Legend shared photos of their devastating loss of their third child. She was reported to be about 5 or 6 months into this pregnancy. The sadness in these photos is palpable. This was hard to see and read about, but necessary to bring awareness to something that happens to so many, but is not talked about . I am so glad they chose to share their sorrow and pain with the world.

1 in 4 mothers will lose a baby during delivery, pregnancy, or thru miscarriage.

1 in 10 obstetricians will be so devastated after one stillborn delivery that they will question their career choice .

There is an unspoken grief to miscarriage and infant loss as well as infertility.

It is a club that no one ever wants to be a member of or thought that they would have to be a part of.
In this segment I wanted to share a few NOT to "do's", as well as a few to "do's" when someone has a pregnancy loss or loses an infant:

1. Dont say, "it was meant to be"..
2. Don't say, "God needed another angel"
3 .Dont say, " you can have another baby"
4. Dont say, " I cant imagine how you feel or what you are going through"
5. Don't say, "God doesn't make mistakes" or there was something wrong with the baby"
6. Don't take a grieving person's behavior or words personally

Instead, send a sweet card. Say the baby's name often. Spend time with the grieving parents or drop by for short visits. Take a meal or a gift card for a meal. Help the parents plan a remembrance service. Plant a tree or flower in remembrance of the baby.

Most of all, parents just want to know that they nor their child are not forgotten.
