Loss of a baby or child
Very sadly, some babies are lost during pregnancy, birth or shortly afterwards. This can be a heart-breaking and challenging reality for families. Find support and local services on our Loss of a baby or child page.
Neonatal care
Neonatal care is the care provided for newborn babies who need that extra specialist support.
Did you know that 1 in 7 babies will receive care on a Neonatal unit and 60% of babies admitted to Neonatal units are full term babies?
