Baby loss information and support
Sadly, some babies are lost during pregnancy, birth, or shortly afterwards. We have information and support for anyone who has experienced the loss of a baby, whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, or termination for medical reasons.

Terminating a pregnancy for medical reasons (TFMR)

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.
