Are you expecting a baby, less than 16 weeks pregnant, and do not have anaemia?

If yes, you might be able to take part in the PANDA study looking at the use of iron tablets and whether they can prevent, rather than just treat, maternal anaemia.

Breaking the silence surrounding baby loss has been integral to Baby Loss Awareness Week since its beginnings in 2002 because it affects such a vast number of people. By helping to break the silence, we can positively impact others and help drive improvements in care and in the prevention of pregnancy and baby loss.

There are many ways that you and your family can honour your baby’s name, talking about them and keeping their memory alive.
During this week, everyone is welcome to visit the NNUH chapel, where you can write a message on a heart or tie a ribbon to the tree, access some support material, chat with a member of the team or simply visit the memorial tree in the chapel garden. A special place for reflection and remembering.

If you’re the brother or sister of a baby who died it may feel like there is a missing piece of the family. If you’re younger than them you may only know about your sibling through what you’ve been told or seen in photos. Even if you were living at the time, your childhood memories may have faded over time.​

Locally, SANDS and Nelsons Journey provide support for bereaved siblings and the Baby Loss Awareness Website has some helpful suggestions.
