“For example, just like after a live birth, hormone levels get much lower after a miscarriage—but that’s not something we think about a lot. Loss doulas are experts in handling this. ‘This drop in hormones intensifies already heightened emotions,’ says Ivy Joeva, a doula at LOOM. ‘Receiving doula support can help ease this experience. Many women even describe their miscarriage as transformational when they receive this kind of comprehensive support.”

“Ivy’s extensive experience with all birth outcomes was a priority in selecting a doula, and her care addressing these experiences was comforting due to our history of multiple pregnancy losses. Her guidance during our high risk pregnancy was so supportive. I breathed a little easier and my anxiety was loosened. Her support during labor changed the trajectory of our birth experience.
She met us where we were. She listened and held space. We were able to arrive at the hospital at a period during labor that felt right, and were gently (yet fiercely, sometimes) guided through the next stages of labor with encouragement that allowed for my birth preferences to be respected. I honestly want to do it all again, speaking on the other side after almost 6 months of healing!”
