Bereavement Support
We have a Bereavement Midwifery Team, trained to care for and support anyone who suffers the loss of a baby. The team are responsible for offering immediate and long term emotional support, information and practical guidance to those who:
- Experience Miscarriage from 14 weeks
- Experience Stillbirth or Neonatal Death
- Have an On-Going Pregnancy with a Poor Pregnancy Prognosis
- Choose to have a Termination of Pregnancy for Abnormalities
- Have a Subsequent Pregnancy
A Specialist Bereavement Midwife is someone who understands that the parents of a baby who has died will be faced with many difficult decisions. She can be someone consistent and experienced to whom parents can relate, who understands what needs to be done, and can explain all options and choices at a time of great difficulty and sadness. Families have a known person to contact whenever they have questions or requests, or simply want to talk.
