Using as examples three of the earluest pregnancy and infant loss organizations and multiple recent initiatives, I argue this is a unique patient movement, in part due to the particularities of pregnant patienthood. Although during the first 20 years of this disctinctively US movement, pregnancy and infant loss support was hospital based, there was remarkable little attention to the medical dimensions of these losses, e.g. etiology, diagnosis prevention, and treatment. The trust was instead on changing ideas and feelings. It is only since the turn of the century that bereaved parents have started to forge collaborations with physicians to work toward prevention. During the first phase (mid 1970s to mid 1990s) it was a women's movement, thought it did not present itself as such, and although it was indebted to the feminist movement and included some feminist intitatives, the movement was dominated by a traditionally feminine ethos and include pro life elements. During the second phase, as physicians and researchers have become more involved, leadership has become somewhat less female centric while at the same time, more initiatives are explicity feminist.
