Hugeee thank you to Clacton Railway Club for hosting Bingo Bongo on our behalf. The turn out was exceptional, they had to turn people away it was at full capacity. It truly means the world that people take the time to attend fundraisers like this. Without you we wouldn't be able to support families and hospitals.

Bingo Bongo always leads to a full house so we recommend arriving from 7pm. This will give you enough time to purchase your book, get a round in and have dabbers at the ready.

Baby Loss Awareness Week 2025 🤍🩷🩵

23/05/2025

Feeling your baby move is a sign that they are well. Report any change in your baby's regular pattern of movement to your midwife or maternity unit immediately. This includes strength of movement as well as frequency.

There is no set number of normal movements you need to feel. Get to know what's normal for your baby and report any change

If you think your baby’s movements have slowed down, stopped or changed in any way call your maternity unit or midwife immediately. The maternity unit is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Even at night, weekends and holidays. Don't put off calling until the next day or wait until your next scheduled appointment.

What if my baby’s movements are reduced again? You should contact your maternity unit again, however many times it happens. Even if everything was normal last time, don't hesitate to contact your midwife or maternity unit for advice.

A reduction or change in a baby’s movements can be an important warning sign that a baby is unwell. Around half of women who had a stillbirth noticed their baby’s movements had slowed down or stopped.

It's NOT true that babies move less towards the end of pregnancy. You should continue to feel your baby move right up to the time you go into labour and whilst you are in labour too.

Should I prompt my baby to move? No. As it can cause a delay in getting medical advice, do not use ice, fizzy drinks etc to make your baby move.

If, after your check up, you are still not happy with your baby’s movements, you must contact either your maternity unit or midwife straight away, even if everything was normal last time. NEVER HESITATE to contact your maternity unit or midwife for advice, no matter how many times this happens.

Do not use hand-held monitors, Dopplers or phone apps to check your baby’s health. Even if you hear a heartbeat, this does not mean your baby is well.

Excellent news!

Leave For Every Loss – pre-24 week loss to be recognised as bereavement.

Today, the Government has committed to granting bereavement leave to anyone affected by pre-24 week pregnancy loss. This is an important step forward, and we look forward to hearing the detail of how this change in employment law will be implemented.

Our CEO, Vicki Robinson, said:

“We are extremely pleased to see, that for the first time ever, those experiencing pre-24-week pregnancy loss will be officially recognised in bereavement leave legislation.

“The Government’s commitment that pre-24 week pregnancy loss will be included in bereavement leave law, via the Employment Rights Bill, is an important milestone, and provides long-overdue validation that this type of loss can be experienced as a bereavement like any other.

“This achievement reflects the tireless efforts of the Miscarriage Association, Sarah Owen MP, our partner organisations, and individuals in calling for change through our Leave for Every Loss campaign.

“Whilst this is a very positive and welcome step forward, we are committed to engage with the Government as the Bill passes through the next stages to ensure it is enshrined in legislation and the details fully support our community.”

We hope you will join us in continuing to advocate for those going through the heartbreak of pregnancy loss.
