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.

Please join us in lighting a candle for the Wave of Light at 7pm for Baby Loss Awareness Week to remember and honour all our loved and missed babies.

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.

The importance of looking after yourself and recognising when this is needed, can never be underestimated. The options are endless but take a look at some of our suggestions when you might need to take some time.

This week is Baby Loss Awareness Week (BLAW).

At the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, we will be remembering and celebrating our much loved and missed babies. We understand that this can be a difficult week so please look after yourself and reach out if you need support.

Baby Loss Awareness Week is an opportunity to bring us together as a community and give anyone touched by pregnancy and baby loss a safe and supportive space to share their experiences and feel that they are not alone.

Suzy, Davina, Leah and Abbie, our Bereavement Midwives, care for families who experience loss from 18+0 weeks of pregnancy and are based on Delivery Suite.

Every year, the week ends with the Wave of Light on 15 October, a moment for families and loved ones to light candles to remember their much-loved babies. For some this is a private moment of reflection, while others share photos or videos of their candles on social media to connect with others taking part.

Look out for our daily posts during Baby Loss Awareness Week 2025.
