stillbirth and neonatal death board.please?

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?

I support this

Also my cousin went through it twice. She's never been the same.

A dedicated space could help women like her.

I'm surprised there isn't one already. Knowing people who have experienced this, I can see how very different their support needs might be to those who suffer an earlier loss.

I fully support this

I've experienced an early miscarriage and would support a specific board for women who've suffered a stillbirth or neonatal death. It's not the same.

I support this ♥️

Very supportive. This happened to four people I know.

I support this and I would urge room for people who suffer late miscarriages as well within the space, i suffered a late miscarriage a week before it would have been a still birth and I gave birth to my sleeping baby boy. All loss is hard and I'm not suggesting that my loss can be equated to a stillbirth at a later stage or a neonatal death but it is also very different to an early miscarriage.

Also echo pp comments about SANDS, helped me massively.

Adding my support to this. Understand the difficulty with terminology and differentiating miscarriage with stillbirth too

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.

I support this and agree with late miscarriages too

I support this too. Been through it 19 years ago and wish I'd had some support.

I support this

I am lucky in that I have not experienced this personally, but friends and family have, and I completely support this.

I support this

I think this is a really good suggestion, although obviously it's very sad that it should be required

I support this too. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks at the same time my friend had a still birth at 41 weeks. Not the same thing at all.

Absolute support from me!

Neonatal loss and stillbirth very different to miscarriage and I say that as someone who suffered 4 mmc's which were very, very tough.

Can't even begin to.imagine the pain of a stillbirth or neonatal loss. 😥

Worth getting rid of other topics, if necessary, to make room for this special board.

Also support this.

I'd support this

I'd support this

I would support this

Definitely support this. I can't imagine why you wouldn't.

I support this.

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. to those who need this board - I hope MNHQ will set it up.
