Saying goodbye after losing a baby
The loss of a baby is a devastating and traumatic experience for the mother, father and those close to them.

Question: Will it happen again?
Q: “I am 12 weeks pregnant. A month ago, I had a “threatened miscarriage”, but the bleeding eventually stopped. I had a scan that showed that the baby was growing well and had a healthy heartbeat. But I can’t help feeling just a bit uneasy! Is there a chance I could still miscarry – and what can…

Question: Bleeding during pregnancy
Q: “I am 15 weeks pregnant. I have been having bleeding without pain for five days. I have had internal examination which showed my cervix to be closed, and two ultrasound scans which showed that my baby is fine. So what could be the cause of this and how can I help myself?” A: I’m sorry…

Question: Blighted ovum
Q: “Four months ago I had a miscarriage and was told it was a blighted ovum. I am now pregnant again and I terrified it will happen again.” A: There is no reason why it should happen again. A blighted ovum is thought to be an error in the very early development of the baby. It…

Question: Miscarriage or Period?
Q: “Two days ago I started my period, but it became extremely heavy and was full of solid blood clots. I also had abdominal cramps. Is it possible I had a miscarriage? I don’t know if I was pregnant. I wasn’t expecting to be as we are on the waiting list for fertility treatment, and…
