What is the distinction between a perinatal mood disorder vs grief after a pregnancy loss

i really loved the idea of the build a bear having something tangible for them to hold and hug

Thank you

Do you recommend postnatal depression screening in the hospital for patient's that experienced a loss?

Post natal depression screenings should be done on all patients!!

we don't screen patients in the hospital who've experienced a loss

they are usually screened at the f/u ob visit

We're also seeing a slew of women with medical terminations for birth anomalies/incompatible with life, who we treat the same as any patient with pregnancy loss. Most of them get referred to pregnancy loss support groups.

I love that your list of What to Say includes mostly open ended questions stimulating sharing of feelings as opposed to the What Not to Say list which is a list of closed statements not encouraging sharing.

thank you for sharing these pointers Dr. Long it will be very helpful for our staff

Thank you Dr Long! Yes, Gabrielle, I am interested in How can we support SW and hospital staff to address compassion fatigue, vicarious grief?

Thank you Dr. Long! I will prepare these slides to share with our staff.

Let’s continue to discuss the compassion fatigue and vicarious grief and trauma in subsequent office hours.

Yes! The vicarious grief experience is significant and should be attended to. An additional consideration with vicarious grief would include that of providers who have had their own prior losses.

HQI has a recorded 3-hour webinar on Care for the Caregiver. It's in the COVID context, but applicable more broadly. Here is the link you'd like to check it out: https://www.hqinstitute.org/webinar/care-caregiver-webinar-demand
