This 4-week virtual support group is for gestational carriers who have made the difficult decision to terminate a pregnancy due to medical reasons, including fetal diagnoses or maternal health concerns.
Losing a baby is an incredibly isolating and heartbreaking experience, and choosing to end a wanted pregnancy can add layers of complexity that may lead to feelings of isolation, judgment, or being misunderstood. This group offers a safe space to explore the depth of your emotions and receive both support and education about this unique grieving experience. Breaking the silence around a termination for medical reasons can facilitate healing and help integrate this loss into who we are and who we want to become.
