[The Menopause Charity @TheMenoCharity]

“Perimenopause” means around the time of the menopause. Menopause is confirmed retrospectively after women have not had a period for 12 months. Perimenopause normally happens on average about 5-6 years before the menopause, although it can take a lot longer.

Being Human is hard. Let's just give each other space to be who we are, to experience what unfolds in our lives and compassion as we process what we need to.

[Miscarriage UK @MiscarriageUK]

While most workplaces have a maternity policy, many don’t have established policies about pregnancy loss. There’s helpful information and guidance for employees and employers on our website here: https://t.co/I624RFiS3u

[Adoption UK @AdoptionUK]

A big hand to everyone who showed support for #worldadoptionday! This year, we look to the symbol where the 3 points of the triangle symbolise the child, adopted parents and the birth parents, which for some encapsulates the experience of adoption better than the smiley face.

‘Knowing when ‘enough is enough’ might be the end of one chapter… but it is the beginning of a new one.’ Making the decision to stop #fertility treatment can be unbelievably painful and difficult. Thank you to @thedovecoteorg https://t.co/58tWs3u0MO #TalkFertility #childlessness

[Mums.the.word_blog @blog_mums]

So important to share these stories. Miscarriage is isolating, it's a disenfranchised grief which few recognise.
