Losing a baby during pregnancy can be an incredibly painful and traumatic experience for parents. In recognition of this grief and loss, the government of England has announced the launch of a scheme to provide baby loss certificates to bereaved parents. These certificates aim to formally acknowledge the profound impact of pregnancy loss and offer support to grieving parents.

This week is Baby Loss Awareness Week, and it’s a time dedicated to bringing together people who have been touched by loss, both during pregnancy or after. Knowing that other mothers experienced a similar tragedy doesn’t make it easier, but it can make it feel a little less lonely.

Today is Rainbow Baby Day. Celebrated every year on the 22nd August, it’s a day to celebrate the babies who come after pregnancy or infant loss and honor the journey you’ve been on as a family. We’re sharing information and resources to support you & celebrate Rainbow Baby Day.
