Pregnancy After Loss Support

Affiliated with the M.I.S. Group, Pregnancy After Loss Support (P.A.L.S.) is a self-help organization for parents who have lost a baby through miscarriage, selective termination, stillbirth, neonatal death, sudden infant death, or accidental death, and who are now in or considering a subsequent pregnancy.

Offering friendship, support, and understanding, P.A.L.S. is a safe haven to obtain support and information whether you’ve had a loss and are pregnant again, are trying to conceive, or are simply exploring the idea of becoming pregnant again.

The group is run by volunteers who emphasize that each pregnancy brings a different set of circumstances with it. The goal is to shift focus away from the past and concentrate on the present pregnancy. So bring questions!

Among the topics covered:

· loss and subsequent pregnancy

· concerns with conception

· medical challenges

· difficulty in dealing with friends

· communication between couples

· the important of focusing on the self

· fertility and enhancing it

· prenatal testing
