This work developed following the research undertaken for the healthtalk section “Losing a baby at 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy”. You can find out about the experiences of parents whose baby died before, during or shortly after birth at 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy by seeing and hearing parents share their personal stories on film. We talked to 38 parents from across the UK about issues such as finding something was wrong, experiences of giving birth, time with their baby and what their life has been like since their baby died. This resource is extremely valuable in sharing these parents’ stories for you to gain understanding of their experiences and concerns at this difficult time.

We have used the terms parents and baby in the guidance because this is how many people choose to describe how they feel. However we recognise every person’s experience is unique and apologise to those who find these terms upsetting and prefer to be addressed as individuals rather than parents and for their loss to be referred to as the end of their pregnancy or as a miscarriage.
