Care Professionals

Those who have experienced baby loss are still physically postpartum. Yet due to the circumstances this fact can be easily overlooked or it can feel insensitive to offer guidance on physical recovery at this time.

As a bereavement care professional it is important for you to consider where the bereaved mums in your care are receiving the guidance and support that they need for their physical recovery. For example, are they receiving advice on pelvic floor health postpartum? If they are using exercise as a coping strategy, are they being guided to return to exercise in a way that is appropriate for their postpartum stage? Are they reconnecting emotionally with their postpartum body and processing the physical aspects of baby loss?

The PABL Project is here to help you practically offer guidance and support in these areas in a manner that is both sensitive and evidence-based.
