If you’ve had a pregnancy loss, be sure to seek out resources and organizations to help you during this very difficult time. Getting support from people who’ve been through what you’re experiencing can make a world of difference. Here are a few places to start:

• Share Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support – This community provides information and support to those who’ve experienced the death of a baby early in pregnancy, in a stillbirth or during infancy. It offers bedside companions, phone counseling, support groups, downloadable resource packets and private online communities, memorial events, caregiver training and more.

• CLIMB (Center for Loss in Multiple Birth) – CLIMB is comprised of parents of twins, triplets or more who have lost one or more of their multiples at any time from conception through early childhood. The group’s website offers supportive articles and resources. It also hosts a Facebook page.

• American Pregnancy Association – This organization’s website has a good collection of articles, information and resources dedicated to miscarriage, stillbirth, pregnancy loss and the grieving process.
