Miscarriages - symptoms, causes and how to cope
Sadly, miscarriage is very common – one in four women who become pregnant miscarry at least once. Late miscarriage is less common – but still heartbreaking. Find out what the signs are – and how to cope with it.
Supporting someone after the loss of a baby
It can be very difficult to know what to say or do when someone you know has been affected by such a tragedy – whether it's a stillbirth or miscarriage. Here are some ways to help you both cope with it.
Stillbirth
A stillbirth is when a baby sadly dies after 24 weeks of pregnancy. The most important thing in the immediate aftermath is to treat yourself with kindness and seek support wherever you feel most able – and there is a wealth of support out there.
