Last night, Parliament united for one of the most important debates of the year.
MPs from across parties shared personal stories of loss, and together called for real change in maternity and neonatal care.
Key themes from the debate:
• Mental health and trauma support must be standard, not optional.
• Every form of loss deserves care, there is no hierarchy of grief.
• Fathers and partners need better support.
• Families want transparency, accountability, and learning from reviews.
We stand with every family, every story, every baby.
Because remembrance must lead to reform, and grief must fuel progress.

Pregnancy after loss doesn’t just affect parents, it affects the whole family. When contacting our MAMA Helpline, parents often share how hard it is to involve their other children in a new pregnancy:
✨ How do I keep my baby’s memory alive while preparing for another?
✨ How do I explain to my child that this baby won’t die too?
✨ Am I betraying the baby I lost by opening up to this new chapter?

There’s no right or wrong way, but having somewhere safe to talk it through can make all the difference.
This Baby Loss Awareness Month, we’re shining a light on these realities. And if this is something you wish you’d known during pregnancy or after loss, we’d love you to share your experience as part of our campaign.

Grief is heavy. It takes a toll on body, mind, and spirit.
Self-care won’t erase the pain, but it can hold you through it.
This , we’re sharing some gentle ways to nurture yourself in grief: rest without guilt, let your feelings out, step outside for a breath, reach out for connection, and find small comforts.
These are just starting points, no rules, no checklists. Only gentle invitations for when you need them.
We’ve shared more self-care ideas and reflections in our latest blog here: https://www.mamaacademy.org.uk/news/blaw-self-care-reflection/

And if you ever need to talk, our free bereavement line is here: 0203 6428 121.

October is Baby Loss Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, spark conversation, and support families navigating life after loss.

We know every journey is different. If you feel able, we’d love you to share your own experience or something you wish you’d known during pregnancy using . Your words may help someone else feel less alone.

Pregnancy after loss can feel overwhelming, from the very first thoughts about trying again, to navigating every scan and milestone.
That’s why we set up the MAMA Rainbow Helpline
📞 It’s open to anyone who’s experienced pregnancy loss and needs a safe space to talk.
✨ You can call any time, leave a message, and one of our midwives will call you back when it works best for you by ringing 0203 6428 121.

Some parents reach out for reassurance in early pregnancy. Others need regular check-ins throughout. Whatever you’re going through, the helpline is here to listen and support you.
This Baby Loss Awareness Month, we want every parent to know: you don’t have to face this journey alone.

Grief doesn’t play by the rules. There’s no straight line, no neat ending, no ‘right’ way to heal after losing a baby.

Some days, healing looks like getting out of bed. Other days, it looks like sobbing in the shower, or not moving at all. It can be messy, exhausting, unpredictable, and that’s completely OK.
This , we want to honour the truth: grief can feel like chaos. Anger, sadness, numbness, flickers of hope… it all belongs.

To walk alongside you, we’ve created a playlist that mirrors those emotions, songs that rage, whisper hope, or simply sit with the not-OK. You can scan the code in the image to listen, (or use this link: https://shorturl.at/QmXL6). And if music isn’t what you need right now, that’s fine too.

If you ever want to talk, in the middle of pain, or in quieter moments , our free bereavement line is here. Just call 0203 6428 121 for a callback. You don’t have to carry this alone.

“There is strength in sharing and healing in community.” – Laura, Co-founder of The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation
When Laura faced recurrent baby loss, she felt isolated, emotionally drained, and unsure where to turn. That experience led her to create a space where families could speak openly about loss, find community, and begin to heal.

We’re proud to be partnering with The Worst Girl Gang Ever for our I Wish I’d Known campaign, uniting our voices to break the silence around miscarriage, baby loss, and the information gaps that can lead to tragedy.

You can take part too:
🎥 Record your own “I wish I’d known…” video
📲 Share it with and tag
💰 Set up your fundraising page here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/iwishidknown

Each story shared gives strength. Each donation helps us fund MAMA Wellbeing Wallets, providing vital pregnancy information for expectant parents.

Together, we can make sure fewer families are left saying, “I wish I’d known.”

Pregnancy after loss can bring so many complicated feelings. Guilt, fear, grief, even in the moments where others expect only joy.

That’s why our MAMA Helpline exists: a safe space to talk about the baby you’ve lost and the baby you’re expecting, without judgement. For the moments when you just need someone who understands.

This Baby Loss Awareness Month, we’re also inviting you to be part of our campaign, sharing the things you wish you’d known during pregnancy or after loss. Together, we can make sure no parent feels alone in this journey.
