Ground to Grow | Mindfulness Programs & Fertility Support

Halloween is such a child-centred holiday, and when you’re trying to get pregnant, seeing babies, children, and families dressed up in costumes can be difficult.

It’s understandable to feel sadness, envy, frustration, or grief.

You may also find that you still enjoy parts of the holiday, even while carrying those feelings.

If handing out candy feels too difficult, it’s okay to turn off the porch light and make other plans. If you enjoy Halloween, perhaps carve pumpkins with friends, bake something seasonal, or settle in for a favourite movie.

You might also consider taking a break from social media if seeing all the family photos feels particularly hard.

And if you’ve experienced pregnancy loss, displaying a white pumpkin can be a quiet, meaningful way to honour and remember your baby.

However you choose to spend Halloween this year, wishing you kindness and care 🧡
