"Having a surviving twin is such a complex mix of emotions."
We know the impact premature birth can have on families like Louise's.
That's why today, we're proudly launching our National Centre for Preterm Birth Research.

In 2022, we launched our #WeSeeAMum campaign to recognise and celebrate all mums, whatever their journey.
Since then, thousands of you have shared your stories, photos and what being a mum means to you.
We hope you'll join us again this Mother's Day to help every mum feel seen.
Today, we're proud to launch our Big Give Christmas challenge.
From now until midday 5 December, your donations will be doubled at no extra cost to you. For every £5 you donate, we'll receive £10 to help families like Shema & Ian's.

Such a special evening with our amazingly brave @tommys supporters in our first ever #WalkforHope as we walked together to break the silence around baby loss & raise vital funds to provide hope for families ❤️
We recently asked our community about their experiences of miscarriage to see how attitudes have changed in the 8 years since our last survey.
The results show there's still a way to go so people know it's not their fault.

Thank you to @mariacaulfield, @_OliviaBlake and @KlassMyleene for joining us today at our National Centre for Miscarriage Research.
We feel hopeful this important visit will mean positive steps for the recommendations outlined in our #MiscarriageMatters campaign.
“There is no scientific logic behind waiting until a woman has had 3 miscarriages to provide care. We don’t wait for someone to have 3 heart attacks to take them seriously.”
Prof @arricoomarasamy speaking on why the graded model of care is so crucial.
#MiscarriageMatters
For every £1 of Government spend on maternity care, only 1p is spent on pregnancy research.
But, to the many families going through baby loss & our dedicated Tommy's researchers, this lifesaving research is worth more than 1% of funding.
