NEXT PREGNANCY SUPPORT MEETINGS -these meetings will also be held at the Marriott Hotel from 7.30pm to 9.30pm
Dates for 2012 to be advised
We recognise that the next pregnancy can be a very stressful and traumatic time and much reassurance and support is needed for some parents.
These meetings will provide support and re-assurance to those already pregnant following the death of a baby. It will also give you the chance to meet other parents who are pregnant again at the same time for supportive friendships.
We have arranged to have midwife support at these meetings which will allow you to talk abou the topics and issues that are of concern to you.
There will also be the opportunity for parents to have discusssions with a Sands Befriender if they wish to.
