Losing a Baby or Pregnancy Loss

Losing a baby is an experience that touches at the hearts of those who know the mother and couple. But no one feels the loss more than the mother who has carried the baby and expected the child, whether with or without partner. A mother can lose her baby for a number of reasons; most common is stillbirth, miscarriage or abortion. Sometimes the contributing factors to the loss are just as hard to accept.

Dealing with the grief, whether by single mother to be, or both the mother and father to be, can be felt as life-strengthening or weakening. Some couples become closer while others are torn apart by the loss. The grief of losing a baby can cause mental and physical health to suffer. Seeking professional help is recommended.
