Pregnancy and Infant Loss  

The loss of a pregnancy or infant is difficult and painful. While research and medicine have made great progress over the years, most perinatal losses still go unexplained. At St. Vincent Women’s Hospital, we provide education, comfort and healing for parents searching for answers and peace.

The Center for Perinatal Loss  

St.Vincent’s Center for Perinatal Loss offers programs and resources for grieving families in a warm, healing environment. Although nothing can erase the pain caused by the loss of a child, we can help ease it, guide you towards healing, and perhaps help you find hope for your next pregnancy. For more information, please call (317) 415-7494.

At the Center for Perinatal Loss, our programs and services include:

Resolve Through Sharing
A program that provides parents with support and guidance through the pain that accompanies a miscarriage, stillbirth and/or neonatal loss. This program offers a variety of opportunities for emotional and spiritual support as you connect with other families who share your experience.

Perinatal Hospice
This program assists families who have received a diagnosis for their infant in utero that will most likely be fatal prior to birth, at birth or shortly after birth. To help you better understand your diagnosis, cope with your experiences and begin the healing process, we offer education, assistance and compassion by means of phone calls, e-mail or personal visits.

Perinatal Loss Program
The Perinatal Loss Program provides parents the opportunity to investigate the cause of their baby’s death, using maternal and fetal labs, placental evaluation and/or autopsy. Through compassion and support, we encourage families to choose a course of action they feel most comfortable pursuing.
