Birth Complications, Trauma & Loss Services

While pregnancy and birth usually progress normally, sometimes mothers and babies experience complications that require medical interventions.  Many families experience these interventions as painful, shocking, or traumatic.  St. Croix Birth & Parenting sponsors an outreach ministry, Tiny Treasures Perinatal Resources, to help families with these unique needs during and following pregnancy.

Perinatal Loss Support
If your baby is hospitalized due to premature birth, health problems, or illness, contact us for support options for your family.
If your family is facing or experiencing perinatal loss, please contact us for support options for your family.  Tiny Treasures provides free layettes to families in a range of sizes to fit babies that pass away at any stage of pregnancy and during infancy.  We can also provide specially trained volunteer doulas to accompany you during this difficult time.
Q. Can a birth where everything turned out okay be a traumatic birth?
A. Even if your birth was relatively "normal," you might still have experienced birth trauma due to the intensity of birth, things that happened to you or your baby or partner without your consent, or unexpected events that occurred in the time surrounding your birth. Please don't hesitate to seek help, even if your birth wasn't "that bad."
