Apparently some hospital trusts are now actively discouraging bereaved parents from seeing or holding their babies. NICE guidelines state that: "it is now considered unhelpful for women to see and hold their babies" after they have died.

It begins on the 4th Dec and ends on the 8th this year.

My beautiful Grandson was born asleep this year and as a family, we decided to do a tree for baby loss.
The theme is footprints.
There will be tags with tiny footprints on in blue, pink and white, and anybody who has lost a baby can put a small message on a tag and place it on the tree.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Grand Dame) http://babyloss.yuku.com/topic/12895 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 23:30:27 GMT http://babyloss.yuku.com/topic/12852/t/My-beautiful-little-boy-Billy-xxx.html feeds@yuku.com (billysmummy) http://babyloss.yuku.com/topic/12852 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:09:35 GMT http://babyloss.yuku.com/topic/12840/t/Bereaved-Parents-Network.html Hello. I read about the Bereaved Parents Network via a leaflet I picked up. I cannot vouch for it personally, as I have never used it, but I thought it might benefit someone here. The leaflet says:

Bereaved Parents Network: offering parents hope for the future after a son or daughter has died.

• Telephone support network
• Weekends and days together
• Regular email newsletter
• Helpful web-based resources

I used to post on here regularly following a missed miscarriage in October 2004. In 2006 I gave birth to a gorgeous little boy (now almost 4), got promoted at work and life got busy!

Now I find myself 16 weeks pregnant and suddenly it is all going horribly wrong. I hope you don't mind me coming back after so long away, but I am honestly at breaking point.

It started last Monday when I suddenly and unexpectedly started bleeding heavily. Since... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (MamaBeks) http://babyloss.yuku.com/topic/12753 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:42:45 GMT http://babyloss.yuku.com/topic/12661/t/Message-from-an-old-poster.html

I have 3 children (a 12 year old boy, 7 year old girl and an angel baby girl).
We lost our baby Kya on 14/8/09, only 9 weeks ago. We still haven't passed her birth date as we were just over 27 weeks pregnant.
Kya was diagnosed early on -12 week scan with an encephalocele (in lay mans terms a hole in her tiny skull).

I was recently reading a book on how to try to deal with the grief and this has only brought up the situation again. I have never been able to deal with it and still can't- it is like a raw wound that never heals. We have not had any more children since and now I am too old to have another child.
