A Haven for Families After Poor Pregnancy Outcomes

About Us
Welcome to Seth Foundation, a compassionate haven for families in Zimbabwe navigating the delicate journey after poor pregnancy outcomes. The Seth Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support, resources, and a compassionate community for individuals and families who have experienced the challenges surrounding pregnancy loss and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Please note that Seth Foundation is not yet 100% registered. We are currently navigating the registration process in Zimbabwe, but our commitment to supporting families remains unwavering. Your understanding and support during this phase are greatly appreciated as we work towards formalizing our presence.

Poor pregnancy outcome refers to a situation where the outcome of a pregnancy is not favorable and may pose risks or complications for the mother, the fetus, or both. This term encompasses a range of possible outcomes, and it can be influenced by various factors, including maternal health, prenatal care, genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Poor pregnancy outcomes may include:


1. Preterm Birth: Delivery before 37 weeks of gestation.

2. Miscarriage: Loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. 

3. Low Birth Weight: Birth weight below 2,500 grams.

4. Stillbirth: The loss of a baby before or during delivery after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

5. Congenital Anomalies: Structural or functional abnormalities present at birth.

6. Maternal Complications: Health issues or complications that arise during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or maternal infections.

Several factors can contribute to poor pregnancy outcomes, including inadequate prenatal care, maternal age, multiple pregnancies (such as twins or triplets), maternal health conditions, substance abuse, and socioeconomic factors.

"A haven" refers to a place or state of safety, refuge, or sanctuary. Our tagline, "A Haven for Families After Poor Pregnancy Outcomes," reflects our commitment to providing a safe and supportive space for families facing challenges related to pregnancy outcomes. In this context, "haven" embodies a sense of comfort, protection, and solace. It signifies our organization as a caring and nurturing environment, where families can find understanding, empathy, and valuable resources as they navigate through the aftermath of poor pregnancy outcomes.

We arrived at the party and exchanged greetings. Shortly after, I went to the bathroom and was shocked to see blood. I called my husband, and from the tone of my voice, he could tell something was wrong. I showed him the blood stains. He remained calm, trying to assure me it wasn't serious. He ruled out the possibility of a pregnancy loss.

One day, in the midst of our daily work and casual chats in the office, an unexpected visitor arrived. As we continued with our tasks, this person innocently inquired about the baby. It was then that Mr. Wellington uttered the heart-wrenching words: the baby had passed away. The joy that filled the office quickly dissipated, leaving a heavy atmosphere.
