Groups for stillborn loss in area?

in Washington Babies

I know there is a board regarding pregancy loss on the bump... which has been helpful for me... Just wondering if there is anyone in a support group locally that they can recommend... or if there are others of you who have been through this experience.

We lost our daughter (first child) in March at 37 weeks. No know reason was found.. and my pregnancy was great throughout.. just slower movement at the end.. which ended in a tragic event for us.

I am currently 6wks preg. and very excited, yet nervous.. and just looking for support if others in the area have been through this, or have had success after a stillborn.

Just thought I'd ask.  I know there is a PS group locally.  Any others?

Thanks

    Have you asked your OB or midwife?  If you'll be working with a perinatology group for this pregnancy they might be a better resource.

    I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you find the support you need.  Congratulations on your pregnancy.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. My BFF's roomates cousin also lost her little girl around the same time to the same circumstances. I'll email her right now and ask if she ever joined a support group.

    I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

    Also wanted to chime in and say my heart breaks for what you've gone through. It's so unfair.

    Congratulations on this next pregnancy!  When my brother died of SIDS my mom became very active with support groups through the SIDS foundation of washington (https://nisa-sids.org/).  Is there an organization similar to this maybe that is more catered towards those who dealt with still birth?

    I wish you all the best in this next pregnancy!

    I have no words of wisdom, or groups to share, but my heart breaks for you and I hope that you are able find a group that is supportive and healing. I hope you stick around here, because we are very supportive and it will be nice to have women to share this pregnancy with. I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

    I have no words of wisdom but I too just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss.  The girls around here are a great group and hope you can always count on any of us.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.  I'm a volunteer photographer for an organization called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.  There's a message board for families/friends/photographers to go to for support for infant loss.  Here's the link to the website:  https://nowilaymedowntosleep.org or https://nowisleep.com (direct link to forum)  I've never personally lost a child, but visit the forum a lot for support in dealing with families and babies.  Everyone there is sooooo nice and helpful.

    Thank you all for your thoughts.

     Hugsfromtrina: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is an AMAZING organization, and we were blessed to have them be part of our moments with our daughter.  Their gift is priceless, we are so grateful for all they did.

    Thanks again for the support.
