Brendan from Northern Ireland wrote his poem 'For Parents Everywhere...' after realising the impact pregnancy and baby loss has had on his close friends and family. 

Following lockdown, Hayley and her partner Reece were thrilled to find out they were expecting a baby boy, Ollie. After a low risk pregnancy, Ollie died due to a placenta abruption. Having to leave the hospital without her baby was one of the most harrowing and painful experiences Holly has ever encountered, and the hours and days that followed were the darkest of her life, but she made it through by taking things hour by hour and shares how despite everything Ollie has changed her life for the better.

This year marks ten years since my granddaughter, Lottie, was stillborn. It was a devastating time for our family, but I was incredibly grateful for the support I received — not just from friends and family, but also from my colleagues and employers in the NHS, who were truly compassionate.

I suffered an ectopic pregnancy very recently, an experience that almost cost me my life. It was one of the most isolating and painful times I've ever been through.
