Becoming pregnant again after the loss of a baby is an experience that can be full of both joy and anxiety. If you’ve lost a baby to a miscarriage, stillbirth or early infant death, it may be difficult for you and your family to deal with the mix of emotions that comes with a new pregnancy.

Bryn Mawr Hospital helps moms and dads dealing with these mixed emotions through a special monthly support group led by Gerri Wismer, RN, NCBF. The support group is offered free of charge.

Through the support group, moms, dads and couples can:

• Share concerns with others
• Learn how to cope with unresolved grief
• Find ways to cherish memories of their lost infant, while anticipating the joys of the new child on the way
• Get tips on how to handle birth announcements and other practical matters
• Learn how to respond to questions and comments made by friends and family members

For additional information, or to sign up for the support sessions, please contact Gerri Wismer at 610-645-2099.
