Baby loss information and support

An ectopic pregnancy is a condition that happens when a fertilised egg attaches itself somewhere outside the uterus.

A molar pregnancy is when a fetus doesn’t form properly in the womb. It is a very rare complication of pregnancy.

When a baby is diagnosed with a life-limiting medical condition in the womb the parents are faced with the heartbreaking decision of whether to end the pregnancy. Having a termination for medical reasons can be a huge trauma. You should be given all the information you need to decide what’s best for you.

Through The Baby Loss Series we want to raise awareness of the prevalence of baby loss, make parents feel more supported and less alone.

If we can talk about it openly and honestly, not only can we help each other feel less alone, but we can also pave the way for greater awareness and more research to stop it happening.

Heartbreaking stories. Devastating stories. But stories that are desperately needed to raise awareness of the reality of baby loss.

1 in 4 women experience miscarriage. 1 in 100 have 3 or more miscarriages in a row. We want to change this so that no one has to suffer the trauma of losing a baby.

When a baby dies after 24 weeks of gestation, it is called a stillbirth. Around 2.6 million babies are stillborn each year. Tommy’s research is helping to change this.

Around 60,000 babies are born prematurely each year in the UK. Tommy’s is saving lives by researching how we can prevent premature births by finding those at risk early on.
