Each year in Alberta there are 1 in 4 pregnancies that end in miscarriage. 4.5 out of 1000 babies are stillborn, and 1 in 6 couples face infertility.
The mental health impacts of pregnancy and infant loss are profound. Researchers have found that 29% of birthing people who experienced a pregnancy loss, had anxiety, depression and PTSD like symptoms for an extended period of time after the loss.
The above statistics demonstrate not only the high number of losses that occur but also the long term impacts that pregnancy and infant loss has. The topic is highly stigmatized and a deeply isolating experience.
