Yes.: Stillbirth is a horrible outcome for any pregnancy and can lead to negative thoughts, anxiety, depression, self-blame and panic attacks. Seek support from family and friends, but do not hesitate to also seek professional help from a psychiatrist and/or psychologist (or even support groups for stillbirth in your area). In general the next pregnancy should be normal, so keep your spirits up!
