Miscarriage Support
Miscarriage Support has been created by volunteers of various ages who have all experienced the loss of their own babies.
This website is a reflection of their knowledge and experience and will hopefully be useful in helping you come to terms with your grief.
There are other miscarriage groups nationwide in NZ (see ‘Independent Support Groups in NZ) and they all operate separately and differently. There are some dedicated to understanding miscarriage only and others offer miscarriage support plus a variety of other services e.g. Sands (whose address is at the top of our links list) have groups in many areas of NZ that hold baby loss meetings. They support to all bereaved parents no matter what gestation or age a baby dies and under what circumstances.

One in four pregnancies will miscarry. Through the information on this site, Miscarriage Support aims to offer support and provide knowledge to the thousands of women and their families throughout New Zealand who grieve for the loss of their babies.This site is maintained by the team at our sister platform, mum+.
