Forget Me Not Service

Our Forget Me Not Service is a free service we offer to parents who have had to make the difficult decision to terminate a pregnancy for medical reasons due to a life threatening condition. We understand that these decisions are not taken lightly and that parents may wish to take steps in order to honour and remember their baby.

The National Bereavement Care Pathway is an organisation set up to improve the bereavement care for parents in England after pregnancy or baby loss. 

It sets out guidelines given to all NHS trusts in England so that healthcare professionals can support parents in the best possible way.

We are proud that our Forget Me Not Service can support parents and professionals in line with these guidelines.

Me and my husband found out that our baby had Turner Syndrome and major heart abnomalities all before she was 16 weeks. During this difficult time we had many hospital appointments and scans but we never had the opportunity to just look at or hear our baby’s heartbeat until we were given this opportunity. At the clinic were made to feel so welcome, comfortable and cared for. During our time there we got to see our baby and hear her heartbeat, giving me and my husband the time we needed to just think about her. After our scan we took away a teddy bear that had a recording of our little girl’s heartbeat. This was an amazing gift and something we will always treasure. Even our two older children got the opportunity to hear her heartbeat and cuddle the teddy, giving them some comfort too.

We truly thank Amanda and her team for everything they have done for us.
