Losing a pregnancy due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or trauma is one of the hardest experiences there is. While you may think that postpartum doulas are only for those with a new baby in the house, the truth is that any outcome of pregnancy deserves a doula to help, support, and offer care.

Doula care after loss can attend to physical, practical, and emotional needs such as:

• Caring for your postpartum body

• Light housekeeping

• Designing a ritual to honor your child’s memory

• Packing up nursery items

• Caring for other children in the home

• Grief care
