One massive gap in childbirth education currently is the lack of research-based information for support people about miscarriage.


This is despite the fact that at least 1 in 4 pregnancies end in birth before 20 weeks gestation (miscarriage).


Our new course, Labor and Birth before 20 Weeks Gestation, fills that gap. It provides 6 hours of evidence-based, easy-to-understand material for any support person who wants to become more knowledgeable in supporting families physically through miscarriage.


This course is accredited for 6 continuing education hours with Haven Bereavement Doulas and DONA International.


This course is rolling out in Fall 2025 (meaning that you can work through the course as each module is released). If you join us for this inaugural rollout, you’ll only pay $137 — a 30% discount on the course!

(And, if you have a discount code from something like the Doulas Doing Business Summit, that code WILL stack!)


But this rollout sale will only last through September; the course will move to its full cost, $197, on October 1.


So, order it today!


EXCEPT: if you’re planning to become a Haven Bereavement Doula through taking our flagship 6-week training, DO NOT BUY Labor & Birth before 20 Weeks Gestation. You will receive it at no charge as part of your training! And we can’t offer refunds for access to this extensive course.






If you want to get a sense of what material is covered in this course, check out a piece of it for free: “Why Miscarriage Occurs” is available to you to help you assess whether this course will fit your needs.

Also, keep in mind that this course, with instructor Abby Jorgensen (Ph.D., LCCE, CD(DONA)), is pre-recorded and available for you anytime after you purchase access.
