Allina Health perinatal loss support groups

Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Group

This support group helps parents whose baby has died through ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, stillborn or newborn death. The group is made up of parents and is led by a registered nurse. It is not therapy, instead it’s a group of parents who find comfort and courage in talking with others who also walk this difficult path.

Pregnancy After Loss Support Group

Recovering from the loss of a baby while preparing for another birth is a difficult task. We invite you to join other families in a supportive and caring atmosphere that will help you share your anxieties, identify coping tools, and look forward to your baby’s upcoming birth.
