The loss of a pregnancy can have a lasting impact on you. Each parent or family member feels this loss in a different way. Some people may feel overwhelmed and very sad. Others may feel they can cope with this. There’s no right or wrong way to feel. Your experience during this time of loss is your own, and it’s important to honour each individual journey.
This content is designed to help you with some information and to support you through the days and weeks ahead. You’re not alone. Support or help for you and your partner is available.
If your loss was after the first 20 weeks of your pregnancy, you may find the information in the Stillbirth topic useful.
