Stillbirth is especially hard for the parents, but it is also hard for the birth team & the rest of the family. Whether the birth is in a hospital, birth center, or at home, we could all use some tips on how to best support parents through stillbirth, no matter what our role is.

Cynthia was a labor & birth nurse for years with special training in loss, has been a birth doula for years & walked through a still birth with subsequent home delivery with her own daughter, and is a midwife-in-training. Hopefully you are never in a situation where you need her tips, but it is always better to be prepared.
