Birth Education

(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.

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES
«    5 of 16    »

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.

— Paulo Coelho

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.

— John Calvin
