🗞️ Today we are sharing our first #GraphicNarrative 🧵 💜 #WhyMyBabyDied illustrates bereaved parents’ views & experiences of hospital processes to find out why their baby died 🔗 ucc.ie/en/pregnancylo… 1/8

Fetally-encoded GDF15 and maternal GDF15 sensitivity are major determinants of nausea and vomiting in human pregnancy | bioRxiv. Pleased to see this has just appeared as a preprint. ⁦@DrFejzo⁩ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"The NMBES report said confidently to almost 900 participants: “...your voice will be heard by those with responsibility to change & improve maternity bereavement care in 🇮🇪.” We all let them down if we do not continue the conversation." irishtimes.com/opinion/2023/0… @keelinodonoghue

Additionally, the study said there is “a lack of empirical research on intimate partner homicide in the Irish context" & the most common risk factor for domestic homicide is a previous history of #DomesticAbuse

The study also found that: - Without exception, women are at the greatest risk of becoming victims of domestic homicide - This is most often perpetrated by a male current or former partner - New mothers & pregnant people are most likely to be killed by their partner #VAW

Resources for parents who have been bereaved through pregnancy and infant loss are available on the Pregnancy & Infant Loss Ireland website: bit.ly/3WbTUOI

Areas where care can be improved were also identified and these included clearer explanations, involvement in decisions and needs being acknowledged.

26% of participants rated their care as ‘fair to poor’, and identified a need for dedicated spaces in hospitals for grieving parents; more consistent communication across services involved in their care; additional supports for physical and mental health; and support for partners

The results of the National Maternity Bereavement Experience Survey have been published. Watch our animation to find out what participants had to say about their experiences #CareExperience
