In a @YouGov survey commissioned by the Baby Loss Awareness Alliance, 1/2 of UK adults said they, or someone they know, had been through baby loss.
A higher percentage of women (62%) said they or someone they knew had been affected compared to men (38%):bit.ly/3twJpvm

Let’s talk about mental health & bereavement 💙 How do you feel about the language used around grief?
The world often wants us to ‘get back to normal’ but this can feel scary for someone grieving, who doesn’t want to forget their person. #WorldMentalHealthDay #WMHD #WMHD22

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay and the irony isn't lost on me the month it falls under #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness
I really like the theme for this year #DoYourShare and so I share a 🧵
Still waiting on @themohwgovjm to respond...
It takes everyone to raise awareness. Chances are you or someone you know has experienced this. My hope for Oct is for more info, education to be spread to those who don't know the frequency + lasting effects of #pregnancyandinfantloss but @themohwgovjm has no stats since 2017 😥

Babies didn't stop dying. There probably have been more deaths. We all know data helps to inform, educate and create change. It's truly sad & disheartening to be asking for the same data for years and nothing is forthcoming. Shows how little care is given to this experience

Love this!
This is what having your baby dies look like...
This is me, 4 years ago on the L&D ward after being diagnosed with severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome at 6 months pregnant with Damani. I was on magnesium drips at this time. Got one dose of injection to mature his lungs.
