The loss of a baby in pregnancy, during or after birth can have a lifelong impact. Our new campaign aims to tell a story we hear so often; of the devastating absence left by pregnancy or baby loss. Our research is here to change that: bit.ly/3AlY9kv

We know miscarriage can affect both physical and mental health. But, there's often no support available afterwards. That's why we launched our free Wellbeing After Miscarriage programme, offering support for anyone who's experienced miscarriage: bit.ly/44ZrDzJ

Baby loss is lonely. People mean well — they just don’t know what to say. So we pretend we’re okay, to spare them the awkwardness. But we carry our children with us, every day. Even when no one asks their name. #BabyLoss #Stillbirth #SayTheirName @SandsUK @Tommys @AchingArms

1 in 2 UK adults are affected by baby loss. That's too many of us grieving the lives we thought we would have, with babies who didn't make it. If you're struggling, remember we're here for you ❤️ Our research is here to make pregnancy & birth safe: bit.ly/3YTVxDP

It’s normal to feel out of breath in pregnancy sometimes, especially as your baby grows bigger. But sometimes, breathlessness can be a sign of something more serious. If you're feeling out of breath in pregnancy, it's always best to get it checked: bit.ly/43QJsAp.
