Can we have a specific stillbirth and neonatal death board
All the miscarriage posts seem to be early loss and bereavement feels to be adult bereavement.

What about the babies who never had a chance to just be?

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 18/04/2022 18:15

Adding my support too.

Think it's would be so important, ppl often need support from those who understand who k owe what to say or not to say. Totally supportive this.

Totally support this.

I support this. Mumsnet is for parents first and foremost and stillbirth / neonatal loss sadly affects a significant number of parents each year

@DeadButDelicious

I would support this. And I would also like to second the call for room for late miscarriages, I lost my first daughter at 20 weeks and it would of been helpful to have a space on a website such as this to be able to come too. It still would be helpful, I so very rarely get to talk about her.
Agree with this also. Netmums had a baby loss subject which had specific boards for early miscarriage, late miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss.

Absolutely support this. X

I agree with space for late miscarriage/ TFMR. I had my baby at 21 weeks and didn't find anything current/ relevant to me on MN sadly

PivotPivotPivottt · 18/04/2022 17:43

Absolutely support this. I've never been through this sort of loss but I have always wondered why there isn't a board.

IsabelaYourBoyfriendsHere · 18/04/2022 17:43

I support this too, please create that space for those who need it. Flowers

Lillygolightly · 18/04/2022 17:39

I support this absolutely.

I got a lot of support when I lost my son, but it would have been really nice to have place here with others who understand what you are going through because sadly they’ve gone through it too Flowers

MarthanotMarfa · 18/04/2022 17:29

I’d support this and is needed.

I support this sorry for everyone’s loss

Antarcticant · 18/04/2022 17:22

I would support this. Having a dedicated board would also mean threads could be avoided easily by anyone who might find them triggering, as the whole board could be hidden. Flowers to those who need this board - I hope MNHQ will set it up.

BingeOnChocolate · 18/04/2022 17:21

I support this.

ColdSeptember · 18/04/2022 17:19
