The Pregnancy and Newborn Loss Companion to Maternl
Intake
Comfort and support
Every family grieves differently. Peer support, bereavement counseling, and follow-up with a trusted clinician can all help.
- Consider asking for a follow-up visit focused on review of records, recurrence risk, and planning for future pregnancies.
- Offer grief support early, including partner and family support where available.
- Escalate urgently for safety concerns, severe depression, or inability to care for self.
