Episode 30 - Stillbirth - The devastating loss of a baby and gaining support as you move forward

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, I talk to Amy from the Lily Mae Foundation - a charity which works tirelessly to provide support to anyone who experiences stillbirth, miscarriage, neonatal death or medical termination. Amy shares what it feels like to find out that your baby has no heartbeat, and her experience of going through the loss of a stillborn baby.  She talks about the decision making process that comes with that awful news, and her subsequent labour and birth. We also talk about deciding to become pregnant again, and the feelings that come up during that time. This is such an important topic which so many struggle to discuss due to it’s very nature, but I wanted to ensure that we cover all aspects of antenatal preparation on this podcast.If you experience the loss of a child at any stage of pregnancy or birth, then you can seek support from organisations like Amy's. https://www.lilymaefoundation.orgYou can donate here - https://www.lilymaefoundation.org/donateIf you would like to buy a copy of the book that accompanies this podcast - click here:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner — https://bit.ly/LabourofloveOr purchase a copy via my website - www.birthability.co.ukFollow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner @birthabilityBook a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann  -  https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresfordPlease remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guest, based on her own experiences as a mother.  Any recommendations made may not be suitable for all women so listeners must do their own research before making decisions.  If you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can find all my classes and courses on my website - www.sallyannberesford.co.uk Follow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner Book a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann - https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresford Please remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guests, based on their own experiences.
