(go back to birth plans)

It is important to know what to expect during your labor and delivery, but if you know and are preparing for your stillbirth delivery of your baby, attending a public or group birthing class can seem very overwhelming, leaving you to sort through a mix of very difficult, and very valid, feelings.

For this reason, I have added some customized content here, so that you can learn about what to expect from your body, and from your care providers, during the course of your labor and delivery.

Please contact a stillbirthday birth & bereavement doula, who can support you prior to, during, and/or after the birth of your miscarried or stillborn baby.
