You’re a part of this journey too and you can play a huge role in helping keep your baby safe. Movement awareness isn’t about counting kicks or stressing over numbers. It’s simply about knowing your baby’s usual pattern and acting early if something feels different.

Transparent, timely data saves lives. That’s why we’re releasing the 2024 stillbirth and neonatal death statistics by NHS Trusts using data obtained through Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.

Less movement? Different to usual? Call now. 
Your baby’s movements are an important sign of their wellbeing.

If those movements ever feel less, slower, or different to what’s normal for your baby, it’s important to call your midwife or maternity triage immediately.

This amazing muscle expands, supports, and nurtures a growing baby for nine months  then helps guide them into the world. And after birth? It begins shrinking back within hours. The human body is nothing short of phenomenal.

Name not quite right? You’re not alone! Around 18% of UK parents change their baby’s name after birth, with the most common reasons being “name regret” or the feeling that it just doesn’t quite fit.

Pregnant women grow a whole new organ, the placenta!
It’s the only time in life a new organ forms specifically to support another life. 💚

Grief is heavy. It takes a toll on body, mind, and spirit.
Self-care won’t erase the pain, but it can hold you through it.

There’s no straight line, no neat ending, no ‘right’ way to heal after losing a baby. Some days, healing looks like getting out of bed. Other days, it looks like sobbing in the shower, or not moving at all. It can be messy, exhausting, unpredictable,  and that’s completely OK.

We’re launching something truly special today, the I Wish I’d Known campaign.
Every year, too many families experience the unimaginable loss of a baby and are left thinking, “I wish I’d known.”

Every year in the UK, thousands of babies die before or shortly after birth. Tragically, many of these deaths could be prevented.
At MAMA Academy, we’re dedicated to creating safer pregnancies and supporting families through loss. This October, we have an opportunity to make a real difference.
