Dr. Modupe Tunde -Byass is an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Toronto .

She says many women in Canada have some mental symptoms following a miscarriage, which are often undiagnosed and minimized on average.

One in three women will have post-traumatic stress disorder, 24 per cent will complain about moderate to severe anxiety, and almost about one in 10 would also have severe depression within one month after they’ve had their loss.

Dr. Julia Gartland , 34 , says when she was miscarrying her second pregnancy on Mother’s Day in 2020 , she felt a lack of support.

Pinelli hopes her story helps doctors understand pregnancy loss.

“I felt like I was pushed aside at a lot of my appointments. I had one doctor actually say to me, It’s just a miscarriage,” she recalls.

She hopes sharing her experience helps break down the stigma associated with miscarriage.
