Pregnancy, baby loss and the grief journey

This booklet has been created by researchers at the University of Bristol in collaboration with bereaved parents, medical professionals, and the charities Sands, Twins Trust and Antenatal Results and Choices (ARC). It was illustrated by Jayde Perkin and formatted and printed by Minuteman Press. It was inspired by the team’s personal and family experiences of baby loss and created in collaboration with bereaved parents, health professionals, charities and researchers. It includes the following topics: 

· When our baby dies 

· The physical & emotional impact of grief · Relating to our partners & other people 

· Miscarriage 

· Stillbirth & late miscarriages 

· Neonatal death 

· Twins & multiple births

We hope Pregnancy, Baby Loss and the Grief Journey will provide support to you and your families.
