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?

Bump.

And supporting. I needed something like this when I lost my son.

VeganGod · 18/04/2022 05:59

Parents I’ve known go through this have sad it’s a very ‘unique’ type of loss, different to early miscarriage or any other type of bereavement they’ve been through. I’m so sorry for anyone that needs the board but I think it’s a very appropriate ask on this site and hope that mumsnet listen.

Hi @HijHij,

Thanks for starting this thread. In general we've been trying to pare down the number of topics on our Talkboards, but we completely understand your reasons for wanting a specific place to post about this. We're so sorry for what you've been through, OP. Flowers

We'll be watching this thread to see how much support there is and will be discussing it with the rest of the team this coming week.

In support too.

I always suggest posters try glow in the woods, the best place on the internet for the babylost. For anyone who needs that space...

It is a very unique and heartbreaking loss, I support this too.

SANDS is a charity which really helped my cousin when her little girl was stillborn.

I would definitely support a board for this topic

Yes definitely. A miscarriage and a stillbirth are two very, very different things.
