Contrary to popular belief miscarriage isn’t something
that you just get over, it can’t be minimized with ‘at least it happened early’ comments or ‘at least you know you can get pregnant. If we are to address the cultural change that is necessary to better support women and their partners through the death of their baby we need to first validate their experience as real grief. Together we can do this. Please show your support today.
A recent study published in January 2020 by Professor Tom Bourne at The University College of London provided the evidence that highlighted that miscarriage can induce an intense period of emotional distress which if left unsupported can lead to poor mental health outcomes.
⅙ of women were symptomatic for anxiety, PTSD, or depression at clinical levels 9 months after their losses.
Together we can collectively support the heartbroken parents who currently face this alone.
60% of women who had experienced a pregnancy loss surveyed in 2020 by The Jean Hailes Women’s Health survey said they felt unsupported through pregnancy loss.
