Pregnancy Loss Support

This includes Miscarriage, Early Birth, Termination + Stillbirth.

Every pregnancy ends in a birth.

It doesn’t matter how many weeks pregnant you were, for that period of time you mothered a baby in your womb. You imagined what it would be like to welcome this baby into your life. You conceived a baby, your body started to grow a baby and you birthed a baby. This means that you have a postpartum body that needs time to rest, heal and be nourished and nurtured too. It is important to have support people around you who understand this.

Sadly when pregnancy and birth loss happens women can be left feeling lonely, misunderstood and ashamed. People can say things that feel hurtful even though they meant well or even worse ignore it completely acting like it didn’t happen because they don’t know what to say or do. It is important to have support people around you that acknowledge your birth, to help you process your experience, heal and find the closure that you need.

Hayley believes that it is so important to continue to lift the shame and taboo of this topic and honour pregnancy and birth loss the way it deserves to be.

Support during this time could look like:

~ Physical, spiritual or emotional support

~ Talking on the phone or in person

~ Comfort and support within your home

~ Share the experience of your loss

~ Birth options if applicable (D&C or birthing the baby natures way)

~ Support with telling other children/friends and family

~ Womb connection + support ( this could be womb massage, journalling prompts and visualisation exercises)

~ Belly Binding

~ Planning a planting ceremony

~ Closing the bones ceremony

~ Holding an honouring ceremony or circle 1:1 or with loved ones.

Please reach out to discuss the type of support that you need.
