We are here to support you when you need it.
We have a team of 7 in-house midwives who provide our information and support service for everyone who needs it, pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, after birth or after a pregnancy loss.
You can use the links below to quickly find the support you need on this page:
Support before and during pregnancy
All our patient information is accredited by the Patient Information Forum. It is evidence-based and expert and designed to be easy to read for everyone.
The Tommy's Helpline, run by midwives
The Tommy's Helpline is a freephone line open 9-5, Monday to Friday, staffed by our specialist midwives, for anyone who needs advice, reassurance or support on:
- planning for pregnancy
- pregnancy
- any aspect of pregnancy loss, including mental health
- pregnancy after loss
- mental health before, during or after pregnancy.
Call 0800 0147 800 or email [email protected].
This is a non-urgent line, offering general support and advice. We will not be able to make local referrals for you.
If you have bleeding, pain or your baby's movements have changed, get in touch with your Early Pregnancy Unit, midwife or hospital straightaway.
Read about other symptoms to look out for here.
Peer support through Facebook groups
You can visit our Baby loss Facebook support group or our Pregnancy and parenting after loss Facebook support group to connect with others who have been through loss. Most people who have used these groups for peer support have said that they find them helpful.
Black and Mixed Black Helpline
We have a special helpline reserved for Black and Mixed Black women and birthing people. This is because this group has a higher risk of having pregnancy problems than other ethnicities.
The line is also staffed by midwives and if you are of Black or Mixed Black heritage they are there to support on any pregnancy-related issue, including loss.
You can book your call with our Black and Mixed Black Helpline here.
If you are a health professional and would like to make the women and birthing people you care for aware of our service contact [email protected] to request free contact cards or fliers.
