Parents all over the UK are sharing their stories to help break the silence around baby loss and make others feel less alone.
“It’s amazing what your mind tells you in grief. The cause of my miscarriages was something beyond my control entirely, but my mind was so fraught with confusion. I dealt with it the best I could and blamed myself for everything.”
Laura's story
“I was so nervous, a complete mess and my mind raced with anxiety. Professor Heazell, the bereavement midwives, everyone at the clinic were amazing, just an essential support in helping me get through such a difficult time.”

Tommy’s spent yesterday morning at the charming Foundling Museum in London, celebrating the work of Tommy’s National Centre for Maternity Improvement alongside the opening of the museum’s new exhibition, ‘Portraying Pregnancy’.
The largest ever study into the psychological impact of miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy has shown that early-stage pregnancy loss can have a serious impact on mental health. The research was led by Professor Tom Bourne at the Tommy’s National Centre for Miscarriage Research at Imperial College London.
