Arden Cartrette is a birth and bereavement doula and founder of The Miscarriage Doula, which provides one-on-one In December 2020, Arden started The Miscarriage Doula and provided one-on-one support virtually to people all over the world. To date, the company has served over 800 people through pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss. In 2017, Arden and her husband began trying to have children but discovered that she wasn't ovulating naturally and getting pregnant was taking longer than expected. After 18 months of trying, Arden became pregnant. However, she experienced a missed miscarriage and gave birth at home when she was 11 weeks pregnant, even though her baby had passed away earlier. Now a part of both the infertility and loss community, Arden started fertility treatment to induce ovulation and quickly became pregnant with this method. Sadly, she and her husband went through another missed miscarriage. Feeling discouraged and heartbroken, she started dedicating herself to the loss community by providing miscarriage education and preparation anyone who would ask/listen. Following the birth of her first living son, she decided to pursue being a birth and bereavement doula so that she could help people through loss and life after. Arden is passionate about validating grieving and bereaved mothers, educating people on what miscarriage is really like, and helping people cope with grief and trauma, and advocating for clients. She lives in North Carolina with her four dogs, husband, and two children.
