‘It’s just one of those things people don’t seem to talk about…’ Women’s experiences of social support following miscarriage: A qualitative study.

This study explored the social support experiences of 15 women at the time of miscarriage. Both positive and negative social support experiences were reported. For most women, their partner was their central support figure. Some identified other women who had previously experienced miscarriage as helpful and supportive. Women reported a vast public silence surrounding miscarriage, leading to feelings of loneliness and isolation.
