I remember going through a miscarriage with my first pregnancy. The actual physical pain was intense, worst than the worse cramps. Plus this pain was mixed with a slew of emotions. I remember the grief, sadness and embarrassment, for lack of a better word, for having told everyone so early about the baby. We had been so happy. Now what? It took time, and I wish I’d had support then. Since then I learned how important this support is, and ways I can provide support and healing assistance for others.
Pregnancy loss is not something that is talked about openly. A miscarriage is a loss before 20 weeks gestation, and approximately 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. So many women I have worked with never knew how common miscarriage was, especially for a first pregnancy, and they all expressed how they wish they’d known, and wished they’d known more about their options for going through it and also for self-care and the grief process after.
At Energy Flow Acupuncture & Wellness Center, I hold space for women to be with the feelings that remain after a pregnancy loss, and to be able to process it, all without judgement or expectation. For some it is a traumatic experience. Using Neuro Emotional Technique and Holistic Pelvic Care ™, together we can create acceptance and resolution. This not only impacts the mother’s wellbeing, but also positively influences any future pregnancies by clearing stuck energy from the pelvic bowl.
If you or someone you know needs support after a loss, no matter how many weeks or years have passed, please reach out to discuss this option for a more complete mind-body healing.
