🌈

To mark Rainbow Baby Week, hosted by Willow’s Rainbow Box, 7 landmarks across the UK will be lighting up tomorrow in recognition of the pregnancy after loss journey 🌈

The aim of this week is to highlight and share stories, information and support for families going through pregnancy after loss, as well as professionals working with these families.

We know that pregnancy after loss has it's own unique challenges, and no one should have to go through it alone. Visit Willow's Rainbow Box for more resources and support www.willowsrainbowbox.co.uk 🧡

Trigger warning: birth trauma ⚠️

For many women and parents, birth trauma can affect how they feel about themselves, their birth experience, and the early days with their baby.

If you’re struggling after birth, you’re not alone, and support is available. You can reach out to:
🤍 Your GP or health visitor
🤍 Specialist charities like Birth Trauma Association - UK
🤍 NCT, where you can find trusted information, talk things through, and connect with others who understand

No one should have to carry birth trauma alone, and every parent deserves care that is safe, personalised, and respectful.
