Prenatal Loss
Perinatal Loss Support: Compassionate Care During Pregnancy and Infant Loss
We understand that pregnancy or infant loss is one of the most painful experiences a family can face. During this deeply difficult time, our team is committed to providing compassionate, respectful, and individualized care.
Our nurses, physicians, and support staff are specially trained to guide families through this process with dignity, privacy, and sensitivity. We recognize that every family grieves differently, and we are here to support your wishes and decisions.
Memory-Making and Time Together
To allow families meaningful time with their baby, we offer:
- Cuddle Cot (Cooling Bassinet): A specialized cooling system that allows families extended time to hold and bond with their baby. This provides precious moments for photographs, memory-making, spiritual rituals, and quiet time together.
- Saline Bath: In certain situations, a gentle saline bath may be offered to help preserve the baby’s appearance and allow families additional time for holding and creating memories.
These options are offered with care and discussion, always honoring each family's preferences.
Additional Support Services
We can also assist families with:
- Photography and keepsake items (footprints, handprints, lock of hair when possible)
- Spiritual care services
- Social work and bereavement resources
- Guidance regarding funeral planning and community support groups
Our goal is to honor your baby and support your family with dignity, privacy, and compassion.
