Tender Loving Care for Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

This study is looking at whether weekly messages providing prenatal counseling and support, called "Tender Loving Care intervention," can help women who have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss (multiple miscarriages). The study aims to see if this intervention can increase live birth rates, improve your quality of life, and reduce symptoms of depression. You might be able to join if you are pregnant, between 18 and 44 years old, can understand English, are 10 weeks pregnant or less, and have had at least two prior pregnancy losses. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.

Study design: This study plans to enroll 60 women. It is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention.
What's involved: You will interact with weekly messages providing prenatal counseling and support. You will also complete a fertility quality of life survey several times during your pregnancy.
Compensation: Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up: Live birth rates will be measured through study completion, which is an average of 1 year.
