This is a very powerful article, which presents some of the unexpected and unintuitive needs associated with pregnancy after loss. Thank you so much for writing this, @neuroanatody.bsky.social and colleagues. Please consider reading and sharing.

Pregnancy after loss is a rollercoaster of emotions and a series of unintuitive needs. We put in all our patient and medical worker experience, thought, and creativity into this BJOG article with suggestions for care. Happy to send full pdf too obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I’d love you to join us online next week. We’re getting together to discuss my book and its engagement with wider issues of writing #grief #babyloss #miscarriage #maternity. If you make a donation to reserve a place, proceeds go to baby loss charity Held In Our Hearts: mybodymybookclub.com#nextbook
A promotional flyer for the book club event, with the cover of my book (a white silhouette of a baby in a blue painted circle) and details: Thursday 6 February 18:30-19:30. There’s a photo of me as I’ll be joining in as a “special guest”! (I’m afraid it’s a screenshot from Instagram so it says you can book via link in the book club’s bio, but the booking link is in the main body of my post.)

Seems fitting that my first publication of 2025 is a review that honours someone else's important and beautiful work.

Tamarin Norwood is a member of a club nobody wants to join. It is not short of members. UNICEF records around 1·9 million stillbirths annually and 4·0 stillbirths per 1000 births occurred in the UK in 2023, rising to 6·3 for Black mothers. Other club members are people who miscarry (of which I am one), experience ectopic pregnancy, have a molar pregnancy, or have terminations for medical reasons. Prevalence of loss is higher in many low-income countries, and access to pregnancy and baby loss care varies depending on state and country legislation.

✨new review!✨Very grateful to @petraboynton.bsky.social for her beautiful review of my book in @thelancet.bsky.social. I would love our son’s brief life to make a difference to midwives, doctors and all supporting families grieving #babyloss. thelancet.com/journals/lan... pic.x.com/ftieMq5LmKht...

A screenshot of the first page of Petra Boynton’s review of my book in The Lancet. The review is accessible for free online at the link my post A screenshot of the second page of Petra Boynton’s review of my book in The Lancet. The review is accessible for free online at the link my post A pull-quote extract from the review, which reads “Norwood’s book is a testimony to the power of creative writing in health care. We can read strategies, research papers, toolkits, and guidelines but it is stories like Gabriel’s that help us appreciate how families feel, how staff should respond, and how we can widen our understanding while improving our own practice.”

I kept my 10-year-old daughter at home after she died – the decision changed everything
Having Neve surrounded by those who loved her until she was buried seemed so simple. Only in hindsight do I see how important it was

Thank you for sharing! Hope our experiences may make a difference for other families in the future, and reassure healthcare workers how wonderfully their words and actions can transform grief.

Today is Neve's 12th birthday. I am marking it with two posts.

The first contains a painting and some words.

The second is a list of links. Some are thought-provoking, some are resonant and others made me smile.
