Has your wife/partner experienced unintended pregnancy or pregnancy loss, like miscarriage, still birth or after an abortion?
We understand that men are affected by pregnancy loss too, and we often see men in counselling. The husband of a past client described how it affected him:
“My wife told me she was expecting again around the turn of the year. I remember the main emotions being those you would expect; joy, happiness and excitement. This was also to be our second child so I also had apprehension given the memory of early weeks and months with a new born was fresh.
There was also a feeling of satisfaction as things were falling into place. We had tried hard to have our family, and whereas once it looked impossible, we were now going to have our second – everything was going to plan…”
If you’ve been affected, contact us to see how we can help. You may also find the other pages on our website helpful.
