Welcome to the Perinatal Loss Hub

A compassionate space offering education and resources for parents and families affected by perinatal loss… and for providers caring for these families.

Perinatal loss can include miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, neonatal loss, and infant loss.

In the United States, as many as 1 in 5 known pregnancies end in miscarriage, about 1 in 175 is affected by stillbirth, and about 1 in 280 babies born alive dies within the first 28 days of life. (Source: March of Dimes)

Every family’s experience is unique, and grief can affect parents, partners, siblings, grandparents, and other loved ones. If you or a loved one has experienced perinatal loss, know that you are not alone.

Understanding Pregnancy and Infant Loss

After a perinatal loss, many people first turn to family and friends for support, but loved ones may not know what to say or how to help.

The video below, ‘When Words Matter: Supporting Families Through Pregnancy Loss’, provides information about pregnancy and infant loss, grief, and ways to support individuals and families following a loss. It offers compassionate education and practical guidance for family members, friends, and healthcare professionals.
