Ep 14. Baby Loss
Over 600 babies die between 20 weeks gestation and 12 months of age. It is also estimated that 1 to 2 out of 10 pregnancies result in a miscarriage.
When a young baby is lost, parents are faced with so much grief, questions, and a process you never think you would go through. How do bereaved parents cope in the days, month and years after such a loss of a loved one, and what support do they need?
In this episode I talk to Vicki Culling, a bereaved parent who has been actively involved in Sands for over 15 years. Vicki has presented at numerous national and international conferences on grief, and perinatal and infant loss, and currently runs support meetings both in-person and online for Sands as well as online learning for midwifery students.
