Thank you to all who care for bereaved families and provide feedback. #everyheartbeatmatters
Hospitals, you must care for the emotional AND the physical needs of bereaved families. Families time with a baby who has died is finite and once that time is gone it is gone forever. Bereavement cradles are a necessary and needed tool to properly support grieving parents.
4.9 pregnant women per 1000 giving birth were admitted to hospital in the UK with COVID-19, around 1 in 10 of whom received intensive care. Sadly 5 women have died, an estimated maternal mortality rate of 5.6 per 100,000 women giving birth (95% CI 1.8-13.1) 2/4
As our unveiling day draws near our hearts are full knowing that we will soon offer staff the ability to support families of even the earliest of pregnancy losses. #everyheartbeatmatters#habereheart
