Useful Information
A miscarriage can happen for many reasons, almost never related to anything you did or didn't do. It's normal to feel sad, confused, or empty. The body needs time to recover, but so does the heart. Talk to your gynaecologist to understand when it's safe to go back to looking for a pregnancy, if you wish. After a miscarriage, you can go to the family office in your area: it offers follow-up visits, obstetric advice and psychological support, often at no cost. Hospitals with obstetrics and gynecology departments have teams that accompany in clinical management and in the return to everyday life. If you feel the need to speak, you can also ask for a psychological interview through the general practitioner. You don't have to deal with it alone.
About 1 in 5 pregnancies interrupt spontaneously, often in the first few weeks. After an abortion, follow-up visits may be needed to verify that the uterus is completely empty.It is important not to isolate yourself: talking to your partner, family members or support groups can help. Family counselors and some hospitals offer free psychological support and individual or couple listening courses. Some ATS have desks dedicated to perinatal bereavement or support groups. Perinatal bereavement associations often collaborate with health facilities to provide emotional and practical support.
