Welcome
We are a miscarriage support service covering all of scotland for anyone who has experienced baby loss.
We would like to encourage men to attend our support group, call our phone service and attend our events.
We also offer one to one sessions with any new or existing members.
We would like to encourage men to attend our support group, call our phone service and attend our events. We would like to ensure that men are supported after a miscarriage too as they have become a parent and lost their baby. Miscarriage is a taboo subject but we would like to encourage both male and females to open up about their experience.
Although miscarriage is a loss for you both, it happened physically for a women. However men may be affected from an emotional point of view. Simply being there for your partner by listening and giving her a shoulder to cry on is often what most women want from their partners. We welcome men to attend our support groups, fundraising events and other MISS activities.
