Today is the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week (BLAW) 🌟

For our community, the week is a special moment to reflect, remember and come together in support of all the much-loved babies who died too soon. ​

It's an important time to raise awareness of baby loss, for people who don't know how many families go through it. And it serves as a way to help open up conversations around baby loss and the lifelong impact it has for anyone affected.

This week, we'll be sharing stories, information and support for anyone affected by the heartbreak of baby loss.

If you'd like to help raise awareness, and feel comfortable to do so, please get involved by sharing your thoughts or experience, or sharing our posts.

And remember, however you're feeling this week, we're thinking of you and are here for you. As well as our website and Facebook support groups, our team of Tommy’s midwives are on hand to provide emotional support and advice. Find support: https://bit.ly/2MmM3OQ

Stopping smoking is the single most effective thing you can do to improve your own health and the health of your unborn baby. The earlier you stop smoking, the better it is for both of you.
The Doncaster Health Visiting Stop Smoking in Pregnancy and Beyond Service offers one-to-one confidential, non-judgemental support and advice from pregnancy up until a year after the child's birth. They can also support other family members to stay smoke-free. To get in touch with the team, please phone the single point of contact on 0300 021 8997
