Service gives people extra time and support throughout their pregnancy
Parents who have previously lost a baby, at or after 16 weeks, will be offered more support through subsequent pregnancies.
The Rainbow Care Service has been relaunched; it gives people extra time and a named contact for them to connect with.
The Chasing Rainbows Charity has supplied lanyards and bracelets to be worn to appointments so that those who have experienced baby loss are immediately identifiable to clinicians - if they wish to be.
Noble’s Hospital will be illuminated blue and pink during the week in support and there will be a table set up in the foyer with bereavement information available.
Dianne Rubery, Lead Midwife for Bereavement, said: "It is wonderful that the Rainbow Care Service is reinstated.
"Losing a child is extremely difficult and it is natural for those who have fallen pregnant again to be apprehensive.
"We want to ensure that those parents receive the support that they need going forward.
"The appointments can cover anything people are worried about in their current pregnancy and will be specific to their own needs, from monitoring the baby’s movement, discussing tests, scans and answering any questions parents may have."
