Pregnancy Loss Awareness Month
How to Care for Yourself During Immense Loss
Pregnancy loss is an immense loss that is often not openly discussed by many in the BIPOC community despite it occurring in 1 out of 4 pregnancies. Cultural factors may make it even more difficult to discuss the loss and providers are not always keen on the emotional and social impact a loss may have. Be gentle with yourself and please know that you have done nothing to deserve this. Click below for a comprehensive list of pregnancy loss resources to help you during this time.
Practical Nutrition Tips While Dealing with Pregnancy Loss

A bereavement doula works with families who have experienced a pregnancy loss. They can provide emotional, physical, and educational support to help you during this time. This may include providing information on self care, help around the house and/or help finding resources to help you cope with your loss.
