Baby loss awareness week started with us having a small ribbon display outside our house. We weren’t expecting it to end with an article in the Derby Telegraph! Proud to share our story 💕 https://t.co/x4QMZoZxaa

For me Baby Loss Awareness Week has been about my own grief but also raising awareness. Making this postbox topper has meant I’ve been able to add people’s ribbons 🎀 but it’s kept me busy too!!! #blaw2024

[H Coull @hccoull]

There are lots across the country https://t.co/0BR1e3mZMh.

We have a ribbon display outside our house for Baby Loss Awareness Week. Remembering all babies lost - from any stage of pregnancy through to neonatal, including those trying to conceive - always loved - always remembered. If you’d like me to add a ribbon for you please just ask

We are so pleased to hear that Baby Loss Certificates are now available to those who have experienced a loss before 24 weeks in England.

This is welcome news to those who have been waiting for dates to be extended.

At the start of baby loss awareness week I turned on the radio to hear people talking about Baby Loss Certificates so wanted to share this 🤍

[Zoe Clark-Coates MBE @ClarkCoates]

9 years ago, I had a dream that every person who had lost a baby before 24 weeks gestation would be able to get an official government-issued certificate to formally acknowledge their loss, and today, those certificates are happening. Whatever the gestation, whether a parent has tragically lost their baby at one day into pregnancy or 23 weeks and six days, they can apply. Whether the loss happens at any point in the future or any point in the past, you can apply. No one will miss out; your loss, your pain, your grief are finally being recognised.

To avoid the application site from crashing, we are asking people to form an orderly queue, and if the English are good at anything, it’s queuing. So to start with, if those who have had a loss since September 2018 can apply first, and the government will then open it up to everyone else as soon as possible, this does mean some of us (including me) need to be patient a little longer.

To answer a few questions:
You don’t need medical proof of a loss. This is for everyone, whatever type of loss they may have experienced, whether it be a loss from miscarriage, ectopic, molar, TFMR or for another reason. This certificate is for anyone who has lost a baby before 24 weeks gestation, whether the loss was today or 90 years ago. Your loss needs to have taken place in England, and you need to currently live in England to apply.

We want to thank Dame Floella Benjamin @FloellaBenjamin for believing in us and our mission; your joining with us as a charity helped make this a reality. We would also like to thank all our ambassadors for joining their voices with ours to ensure we were heard. @SayingGoodbyeUK

6 years ago, Sam and I were asked to co-chair and author one of the world's first baby loss reviews for under 24 weeks gestation. We were tasked with looking into all clinical care and bereavement support, and part of that was also to bring in the new certification process. Last summer, we laid that report in Parliament, and the government accepted all 73 of its national recommendations. Today is a landmark day because one of those 73 is coming to pass - certificates are now here!

We hope you are as excited as us; please help us spread the word.

We have a petal for Remi at the Sands Memorial Garden at Markeaton. Yesterday I had the honour of helping to attach new petals and cleaning the ones already there. We are lucky to have a place like this 🤍 and I always love seeing Remi’s name #babyloss @SandsUK

[H Coull @hccoull]

Really proud to share https://t.co/pxH58P371G ahead of Baby Loss Awareness Week #BLAW2024 Our daughter Remi died in January and since then we have found support in lots of different places so hopefully this can help someone else too 🤍

Next week is Baby Loss Awareness Week. It’s only this year that I know the importance of the week. I wish I didn’t. There is a struggle between knowing you’re not alone experiencing baby loss, with not wanting anyone else to go through it #babyloss #babylossawareness

@ViscBeaumonts @IbstockCollege @MissMooreArt @Rise_MAT What a great idea!!

[H Coull @hccoull]

@MrEagletonIan You’re welcome! It’s the chosen book for our staff Pride at Rise Book Club 🌈

[H Coull @hccoull]

@Rise_MAT Glitter Boy by @MrEagletonIan is my current favourite for a primary school classroom! 💫 Adults and children should read it 🌟

[H Coull @hccoull]

@benniekara @bookshop_org_UK My immediate thought is The Other Mother by Jen Brister. Her story of IVF, parenting and being the non-biological mother really helped me when wondering what being the ‘other mother’ might be like
