When The Baby Dies: A Doula’s Perspective features the first 24 hours after attending an unexpected stillbirth.
As an experienced doula trainer, I am often asked, “What do you do if the baby dies?”  I hear this most often from newer doulas who are afraid that they will not be helpful or supportive to the parents.  Underlying that question is often another one that remains unspoken. “How do you feel when the baby dies, and how do you get through it?”  The story that follows is my answer to that unspoken question.
