VIRTUAL MISCARRIAGE SUPPORT
What is a Miscarriage Doula?
A miscarriage doula is a non-medical, holistically trained support person or companion. Their role is to provide a layer of care and support following pregnancy loss. As a miscarriage doula, we are trained and knowledgeable in pregnancy and pregnancy loss, providing emotional, physical, and mental support to women and men who have experienced miscarriage(s) and pregnancy loss at any gestation. It’s important to add that as miscarriage doulas, we acknowledge that first and second (and third) trimester losses are birth and death. We do not believe that anyone mis-carries their child or does anything incorrectly. As a society, we use the term “miscarriage” for losses prior to 20 weeks but it’s deeper than that and we know this. If you see the word miscarriage, it’s only so our support can be understood and easily accessible.
