2/ Great also to spend time with the other exhibitors - sharing, supporting and signposting. It’s fabulous to be able to collaborate and show maternity and gynae staff from across the region how all our resources can help (Most photos shamelessly stolen from Erin @ma_group_ni)

I was delighted to have been invited back to this years @RcmNi / @sandscharity conference - ‘ A Journey Through Bereavement Care’ - representing @cradle_charity Such a powerful day with incredibly informative presentations.

Lots of activity in the exhibition today. Delighted that so many charities are able to support the conference@RcmNi @SandsUK

It's Volunteers' Week! ⭐ A huge thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers - we couldn't do what we do without you! 💙 We spoke to Erin about her story, and her advice to anyone considering getting involved with the M.A.: ow.ly/bQIU50S6zeY @VolunteersWeek

🌟Your first look inside our new Maternity Hospital 🌟 Following the handover a few weeks ago we recently had the opportunity to get inside to bring you a sneak peek of the new building. Want to see more? Keep your eyes peeled on Sunday 👀

Exciting to see the data coming in for our RVH ED QI project: making an impact on average waiting times for women presenting with bleeding in pregnancy @BelfastTrust @linseytweets @clairewilmont

The Assembly has passed our motion to progress the Baby Loss Certificate scheme. This scheme will send a very clear message to parents who have suffered the heartbreak of losing a baby during pregnancy: that your love is real, your grief is valid, and that you are not alone. We hear you, we see you, and we will work to support you.

The Assembly has passed our motion to progress the Baby Loss Certificate scheme. The development of a Baby Loss Certificate scheme would ensure that bereaved parents can have an official document acknowledging a baby lost during pregnancy before 24 weeks. @LizK1988

Our midwives Gillian Campbell and Barbara Gergett were recognised for their roles at the Mariposa Trust’s annual Mariposa Ball in London. Read more: bit.ly/3PHU4eF

Northern Ireland Support Group leader, Erin, will be on @bbcradioulster Talkback show with William Crawley from 12 - 12.30pm today, alongside @Kelmba. They'll be discussing the possibility of introducing certificates for pre-24 week pregnancy and baby loss in Northern Ireland.

4/Link to my wishlist in bio. Sending love to all who need it over the next while 💛 #becauseeverypregnancymatters #miscarriage #miscarriagesupport #pregnancyloss #earlypregnancylossawareness #1in4 #ectopicpregnancy #molarpregnancy #tfmr #cradlebelfast #pregnancylossbelfast

💛 Always the hardest delivery of the year. There’s just something about getting this particular batch of bags packed and ready to hand over that hits me in the feels that little bit harder. 🪡 1/

3/I KNOW I’ve probably missed the boat completely in asking if CRADLE Belfast could be considered as a chosen office charity for a XmasCollection or even popping a wee extra into your shopping basket, but all help for keeping me going into the new year would be SO appreciated.

2/ It’s never lost on me that the families receiving our Comfort Bags over the next week or two certainly aren’t getting the parcel they were wishing for. I know I’ve been very quiet on here but I’ve been having a much needed social media detox.

Listen to @artscareni Artist in Residence Helen talking about working with Snowdrop Group families on a year-long creative project, which is now on display in @BelfastExposed to mark #BabyLossAwarenessWeek. You can view the exhibition until 2pm on Saturday 21st October.
