Healing after Miscarriage 

All thing Motherhood & Baby

You may have noticed my silence over the last couple of weeks but I am ready to share my story:

At seven weeks pregnant, I started bleeding. I told myself it might be normal, but deep down I knew something was wrong. After ten painful hours and a hospital visit, I was told I had miscarried. It felt like the ground dropped beneath me.

I had already imagined the life growing inside me — the milestones, the joy, the future. Miscarriage doesn’t just take away a pregnancy; it takes away all of those dreams in an instant.

Even in my grief, I held onto the gift of my healthy toddler. His little smile reminded me that my body is capable, that miracles do happen, and that this painful chapter wasn’t the whole story. Gratitude didn’t erase the loss, but it gave me a thread of strength to hold onto.

The Reality of Grief

Miscarriage grief is heavy and complicated. People often don’t know what to say, and their words can unintentionally sting — “Your lucky it was early,” or “You can try again.” But loss is loss, whether at four weeks or four months. Your pain matters. You are allowed to feel it deeply, without comparison or minimization.

Supporting Your Body After Miscarriage

Miscarriage is both an emotional and a physical event. Your body has worked hard and now needs time and nourishment to recover. Taking the time to actually heal your body and soul, is the best gift you can give to yourself. Cherish your body and be easy on yourself.

Food & Nutrition

Warm, mineral-rich meals: Bone broth, soups, and stews to rebuild strength.

Iron-supporting foods: Grass-fed red meat, leafy greens, and cooked beets to replenish blood.

Healthy fats: Avocado, coconut oil, grass-fed butter, and olive oil to support hormones.

Herbal Supports

Gentle herbs can help restore balance:

Raspberry leaf: Tones the uterus and supports recovery.

Nettle: High in iron, calcium, and minerals for rebuilding strength.

Chamomile: Calms the nervous system and supports rest.

Ginger: Warms the body and eases cramps.

Motherwort: Traditionally used to support the heart and calm anxiety (use under guidance).

Topical & Body Therapies

Warm sitz baths with chamomile or lavender.

Castor oil packs on the lower abdomen (only after bleeding has stopped) to support circulation and tissue healing.

Restorative teas sipped daily — even just the ritual of brewing them can be healing.

Supporting Your Heart & Mind

Grief after miscarriage doesn’t have a timeline. Some days you may feel steady, others you may be pulled right back into the sadness. Both are normal.

Journaling: Write down your feelings or even letters to the baby you lost.

Rituals: Lighting a candle or planting a flower in memory can create space for closure.

Movement: Gentle yoga or walking in nature can move stuck energy.

Connection: Sharing with other women who’ve been through miscarriage can lessen the isolation.

Recently on the blog

I am a first time boy mom, wife, self-published author and wellness connoisseur, trying to live a holistic lifestyle in the very small town of Moonstone, Ontario. I started this blog to share my passion (obsession) for natural, non-toxic living. Throughout this blog you will find inspiration to live your healthiest life, tips to switch to a natural, toxic-free lifestyle, honest and transparent motherhood, birth, breastfeeding, essential oils, help with getting started with Baby Led weaning and all other things “crunchy”. From teaching yoga, to making my own products and sourdough, to trying out veganism, buying an absurd amount of crystals, and trying many alternative medicines, I have dipped my toe in many aspects of the wellness world. I have also completed many courses in Herbalism, meditation, different types of yoga and Ayurveda.

Currently, I am studying to receive my Holistic Nutritionist (specializing in children’s nutrition) diploma. After giving birth to my son, I realized just how important living a natural, healthy lifestyle was. Feeding my son healthy, homemade organic foods is one of my favourite things to do. We began baby led weaning when he was six months old and our food journey has been nothing short of wonderful. This kid will eat practically everything I offer him (except broccoli). My goal is to share our journey and offer some support to new mamas and to assist with making their babies transition to food go smoothly. I also want to help mamas take care of themselves by supporting them with holistic nutrition consulting and meal planning. Mama’s health is just as important as babies, we must set a good example for our children by being the absolute best version of ourselves, they are always watching! 

I look forward to meeting you and helping you start your holistic journey. 

Hey, I'm Jamie, The founder behind Moonstone Mommy!

Nice to meet you!
