17.5 The empty crib: loss and bereavement in pregnancy and childbirth

Series 17 - Episode 5: The empty crib: loss and bereavement in pregnancy and childbirth

Featuring Lauren Petrie, Specialist Bereavement Midwife, Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea Hospital

This week, as we come to the end of baby loss week, our focus is on mothers and families who lose a baby at whatever stage of their pregnancy and, importantly, what midwives can do to support them through this time and beyond.

Our guests will discuss how midwives can support mothers and families through the loss of their baby, through to looking ahead to consider future hopes and plans.
