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 sorry for everyone’s loss

I support this

I support this

Completely support this

I support this

I’d support this and is needed.

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

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

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

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

Absolutely support this. X

I support this ❤️💙

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.

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

Totally support this.

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.

Adding my support too.

I support this

Adding my support - I'm so so sorry to anyone who has gone through this x

Yes. Whisky it’s not helpful to draw lines there is a huge e difference in experience of those who have to deliver their DC and bury them and those that don’t.

Yes.

Me too. I had an ectopic and a neonatal loss and they were vastly different experiences and need different support

I support this

@PortiaFimbriata

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.

Came to say this as well

I think many of us post in bereavement, but it would be better to have a bereaved parent board, I'm just thinking of the many posters who have older children who have died and what an amazing support they are to all of us who have had our children die shortly before, or after their birth.

Being a bereaved parent is very different to anything else, so if there was a board I would, personally, want it to include all bereaved parents.
