Babyloss Support

In the event of losing a baby

In the awful event of losing a baby there is inevitably, despite the traumatic impact, a process that you still need to remain aware of.

If you were under 24 weeks you may be informed that either you had a spontaneous labour or perhaps a miscarriage. 

 

Don't be afraid to hold your baby.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

You will experience the same labour pains as if you were delivering at full term.

You will be assigned a midwife who will manage the process of labour and at the same time be mindful of the circumstances and demonstrate the appropriate support. 

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR MEDICAL TEAM

What will labour be like?

What is the procedure and medication for the delivery of the placenta? 

What antibiotic treatments are available?  

What complications might there be? 

Is counselling available? 

It's important to remember, you are not alone.

Resources and support you might find useful in this difficult time
