What the petition asks
Fund more support for parents who have suffered the loss of a baby so they are supported throughout pregnancy and the birth of their next baby. Such support should include functional equipment to monitor the baby over the first 6 months, and should be available nationally, regardless of location.
This would help parents with their mental health through what is often a very difficult time. There is a lack of consistent support services available nationwide. It shouldn’t matter about a parent’s postcode when trying to access vital bereavement support after baby loss. Providing a service nationwide would allow all parents to feel more emotionally supported with the birth of their next infant. This could be delivered through more training for community midwives.
