Stillbirth and neonatal death
It's now been one year and still no post mortem results

One year ago today my beautiful boy was born asleep, and I still have no post mortem results. I have chased, and chased, and chased to no avail. They keep telling me that there are huge delays and they'll ring me as soon as they're back. How long is too long? Surely a year is unacceptable? How do I approach this?

I'm so sorry for your loss, and for this completely unacceptable wait time. I know there is a big delay nationally but it feels exceptionally cruel for mothers waiting for news on their babies.
You might be better trying to find support/advice in a specialised place - somewhere like SANDS? I know that Lucy Easthope also posted something about this on her twitter recently.
I'm sorry not to be of more help. You're in my thoughts. X
having to wait such a length of time is awful both for your grief and it could inform future choices around pregnancy and birth.
