Understanding Pregnancy and Reproductive Loss

Pregnancy and reproductive loss can include miscarriage, infertility, stillbirth, and early infant loss, and other losses.

Feelings after reproductive loss are as unique as fingerprints. Some may find peace quickly. Others may be devastated for a long time.

It is important to not underestimate the powerful feelings that can come after a reproductive loss.

For a glimpse into how raw and painful it can be, see the anonymous stories posted on MiscarriageHurts.com. (Note: Some of these stories are raw and painful and may be difficult to read.)
