Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

Moms can get virtual support for postpartum depression and miscarriage

Maternal Wellness Program

1 in 9 women will experience postpartum depression, and 1 in 4 will experience a miscarriage in their lives. It can be a hard conversation to have, but it’s important. It's why the Maternal Wellness Program was created. Their latest support group is for miscarriage or infant loss. Rachelle Sova is leading it. She had 2 miscarriages and lost her son, Wyatt just hours after being born. The strength of these women and their goal to help others is truly incredible.
