ÈËÆÞÖгöÊÓƵ

Are you looking for answers? Do you know why your baby died or if a safe pregnancy is even possible? If you have experienced a recent loss, you can schedule a consultation to meet with one of our physicians.

Our doctors will sit with you to discuss pertinent medical and obstetric information, autopsy results, results of placental and other evaluations, pregnancy risks, research that is relevant to you, and possible reasons for your loss.

If you are coming to us from outside the , we can support you through the process of requesting your previous records or requesting additional testing and obtaining the results. We’ll also recommend appropriate clinical care (within your system) based on the results.

Our goal is to help you find answers where possible, provide solutions where we can, and be with you as you move forward in your grief and healing.

Our program’s goal is to support you physically and emotionally with a care plan customized to your family’s needs. You can also help others like you as we build our support community.

These consultations can be either in-person or virtual.  

In-Person Visits During Pregnancy

Following your initial consultation, we will offer you a symbol/pin to wear to your subsequent appointments. This ensures that from the moment you enter the hospital facility, hospital staff will recognize that you are a pregnancy after loss patient.  

During your appointment, you will have a medical assessment. We will also want to discuss any mental health concerns that you may be experiencing.

Many parents who have endured stillbirth or newborn loss often struggle with isolation, anxiety, depression, or PTSD. We will provide immediate resources and referrals for these situations. Our team includes a psychiatrist and we collaborate on mental health support with faculty at the Huntsman Mental ÈËÆÞÖгöÊÓƵ Institute.

During your appointment, we may also share opportunities to participate in research trials or studies that our program and others are conducting locally as well as globally. These may contribute to possible answers and actions for future patients like you, as well as improving clinical care for other patients with pregnancy loss.

You will have time to study these options, as well as ask questions about potential concerns.

Remember that if you are feeling anxious about your baby and your pregnancy, you are welcome to make an appointment any time for a quick check or request mental health support. Our goal is to create a team environment between clinicians, you as the parents, and your baby.

Coming soon: Peer Support Network

As you leave the clinic, you will be able to stop by our peer support station, browse informational materials, and pause to speak with another parent who has been through a similar pregnancy after loss journey.  

This parent will guide you to support groups outside the clinic setting and to further resources to assist you during your pregnancy journey, as well as following your baby’s delivery. Speaking with other parents can bring healing, friendship, and an empathetic support network unique to the pregnancy after loss experience.
