🕯️ Today, on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, we come together to honour the lives of the babies who left us too soon. This is a day of support, compassion, and remembrance for families who have experienced the profound pain of pregnancy and infant loss.
🌟 We light a candle not just to illuminate the darkness but to symbolize the light these babies brought into our lives, even if their time with us was brief. Each flicker represents the love and memory we hold in our hearts.

Understanding the Difference: Miscarriage vs. Stillbirth
For families that have experienced pregnancy loss, knowing the distinction between miscarriage and stillbirth is more than just terminology. It can help families find the appropriate care, resources, and community.
For pregnancy after loss, this information can help expectant parents effectively communicate with healthcare providers and reduce their risks of future losses, ultimately leading to better care and informed decision-making.
However, it’s important to remember that whether or not you personally identify or relate with these terms, your feelings and experiences are valid. At any age, your baby matters. Choose the language that feels right to you and don’t let anyone try to take that away from you. 💙

On this significant day of Truth and Reconciliation, we come together as a nation to acknowledge the pains of the past, reflect on the challenges that persist today, and commit to a path forward of justice, healing, and unity. 🤝
It's a day to reflect on the historical injustices experienced by Indigenous communities in Canada. We honour the survivors of residential schools and those whose lives were lost. We honour their families and their communities who have suffered, and continue to suffer. We honour the resilience and the strength it takes to move forward.
Flutter Care is committed to learning about our nation’s shameful history and the pain it has caused generations of families through listening, co-creation, and respect for traditional practices of birth and perinatal care.
In Canada, Indigenous parents continue to face a 2-3x higher risk of stillbirth — Let's use this day not only for remembrance but as a call to action. To educate ourselves, to listen, and to actively participate in the fight for reconciliation and equitable care. Together, we can create a better future that serves all of us. 🧡

At Flutter Care, we want to shed light on some of the sensitive topics that may be difficult to talk about, but are important to know for parents who experience stillbirth. This post discusses methods of assisted/medicated delivery and investigating cause(s) of death after stillbirth.
Please note that there are different ways to give birth to a stillborn baby, and some parents may be limited in their options due to their medical situation. This post highlights a few options but is not all-encompassing. Be sure to talk to your care provider about what your options are so that you can make an informed and confident decision.
We hope to foster understanding and provide support to those who have walked this challenging path. Our hearts are with you. 🌟
