I’m creating a pregnancy after loss training module as a freelance trainer. Please help inform my work by taking this survey. For people who have experienced pregnancy after loss, dads, other parents & family. I also have a question specifically for Black & Brown families: forms.gle/4Rpno97aSv1D...
It’s our mouse nativity!
I started end of October - crocheted 25 mice including the nativity scene mice - one for the kids to find each day. It was a challenge at times but so glad I did it! 🐭🎄

This is my last baby and so the emotions of her turning 1 are so real! There will always be something so special to me about that time when you go into labour though - and although it won’t be me again, I hope to support others through this time of transition.
My baby turns 1 tomorrow and this was me 1 year ago before induction at 35+2 due to severe Cholestasis. I keep saying I’m not ready for her to turn 1 and what I mean is what we all went through was such a big deal to us that I’m not ready to close that chapter! ❤️
My area of work is in pregnancy after loss mainly & I know I can’t fix the vast amount of problems for migrant families accessing maternity care, but it will be a consideration for me to think how can the charity I run do our bit.
Spent a long time last night reading this report in full and reading more about migrant families and maternity care. One situation that struck me was a previous stillbirth that was not followed up in subsequent pregnancy - & the woman went onto have another stillbirth. Opportunities missed. So sad.
I was just writing about the number of research studies I’ve been involved in also that just don’t have the funding/resources to speak to families who don’t speak English. These families are excluded on so many levels.
I’ve been involved in a few research studies over the years and many do not have the funding available to book interpreters - missing out on key information and missing out on hearing from important voices. For those who don’t speak English, the gaps are so wide.
This is just awful. Just 4% of mother and baby pairs received care rated as good. 68% received poor care that could have impacted the outcome. So many babies lost and so much more could have been done.
NEW RESOURCE! 🌈 How are you feeling? Our new mood tracker is available in our boxes (free throughout England) and as a free digital download. A reflective activity suitable for anyone on the pregnancy after loss journey. #pregnancyafterloss #rainbowbaby
When your cycle restarts after having a baby and just ALL the emotions. It feels like my body’s officially gone ‘right you’re back to pre-pregnancy now, as you were.’ I’m not the same person I was…Each baby has changed me. For me it’s not ‘as you were’ it’s ‘this is a new start’ in so many ways.
Personally, safety for me was paramount in pregnancy after loss. So my mind raced to what ‘safety’ meant in my head. Safety for me meant monitoring, doctors on hand for emergencies. An exploration is needed for what ‘safety’ is and means for people.
I read this very interesting paper this morning. I also wonder about the relationship between pregnancy after loss & place of birth & if this added in with ethnicity also has an impact.
