Perinatal loss is the loss of a baby during pregnancy or delivery. It is a common experience, with as many as 10 to 15% of pregnancies ending in loss. Families who suffer a perinatal loss may experience a range of grief reactions, including shock, anger, and depression. Remaining connected with your support system, finding ways to honor the deceased child, and speaking with a professional can help you cope with a pregnancy loss.
