ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Tender Loving Care for Recurrent Pregnancy Loss," is exploring whether a special weekly messaging program can help women who have experienced multiple miscarriages. The study aims to see if these supportive messages can lead to more successful pregnancies (live births) and improve the overall well-being of participants, including reducing feelings of depression.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must be women who are pregnant (up to 10 weeks along) and have had at least two previous pregnancy losses. They should also be able to communicate in English. Throughout the study, participants will receive weekly messages offering prenatal advice and support and will complete surveys about their quality of life. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it provides an opportunity for women facing similar challenges to receive additional support during their pregnancy journey.
