Hello
Next week (October 8 onwards) in Cambridge, Oxford, Norwich, London and Belfast, there will be cinema screenings of a new documentary about stillbirth - and we thought some of you might like to attend. (See here for dates and locations.)
Called 'Child of Mine', it's a documentary that was filmed over two years and it follows three couples through their experience of a pregnancy impacted by babyloss. You can see more about the film here.
As some of you will know, the UK has one of the highest rates of stillbirth in the developed world. The team behind the film are working with SANDS to achieve three things: improved stillbirth prevention throughout the NHS, universal provision of the high standard of bereavement care shown in the film (many hospitals still don’t have a trained bereavement midwife), and more funding for stillbirth prevention research.
If you're not sure about attending or would just like to get an idea of what the film is like, there's a short trailer on Facebook here.
If you do watch it, it would be great to hear what you think.
Thanks
MNHQ
