Normally, following the death of a family member, we would expect support to come from those closest to us. Miscarriage is unusual in that we often find the most comfort comes from other women who we are not necessarily close to but have experienced miscarriage and dealt with it in a healthy way. You will be amazed at the response when you mention miscarriage in a conversation.

Because we don’t even look pregnant, often it is our silence that prevents us receiving the support we need.

Other than your personal contacts, another source of women who have experienced miscarriage is your local miscarriage support group or try a CAB, GP, Midwife, church or friends for a recommendation for a counsellor.
For free professional help, Auckland callers can go to the Pregnancy Centre, 13 Maidstone St, Ponsonby or call them on 09 378 4060.
If you live outside Auckland contact your closest Miscarriage Support Group, CAB, your GP, Midwife, church or friends for a recommendation.
