INCIID
Infertility and Miscarriage Bulletin Board
A lifesaving group of women and some of
their spouses who will support you, tell you what to expect, and be a
ready listener. They also have medical forums where doctors will answer
your questions.
Mothers
in Sympathy and Support
An extremely well done web site dealing
with all aspects of miscarriage and its aftermath, including a pen pal
system for bereaved mothers to contact other bereaved mothers.
Share
Atlanta
A large, comprehensive miscarriage site
with workshops, memorial gardens for baby dedications, and many poems
and testimonials from bereaved parents.
Pregnancy
Loss Remembrance Day
The official site of Oct. 15, the day observed in the
US and Canada, and quickly spreading internationally, to light a candle
for babies lost to miscarriage or stillbirth at 7 p.m. your time.
Parents
Place Miscarriage Bulletin Board
An overall parents site with many areas
beside just miscarriage. This huge group of women have become a
community and often talk to each other on the bulletin boards. Parents
Place has a less serious feel than INCIID.
Parents Place has two really neat
features: A pregnancy
calendar that you create will chart your baby's progress for the
nine months. I printed one out for Casey to put in his memory box.
You can certainly just go to their main
page and browse around without going directly to the pregnancy loss
area, of which there are several.
Bereaved
Moms Share
A site that offers an email group, poems
and songs, and a gift store where you can purchase prints, jewelry, and
other items with a baby and angel theme.
SIDS
Network: Mother's Stories
A nice site to post your miscarriage,
stillbirth, or early infant death story and read others.
Premature
Rupture of Membranes Medical Information
Outlines the frequency, causes, and treatment of PROM.
HAND
Support
HAND is a support group who has
developed a very good fact sheet detailing what parents should do in the
first hour, day, and weeks after a miscarriage.
