National statistics show that each year in the UK around 700,000  women will become pregnant and every one of these will be offered some form of testing.

Out of these women, approximately:-

250,000 will miscarry

35,000 will be told that there is a risk their unborn baby may have a serious abnormality

32,000 will be admitted into hospital with an Ectopic pregnancy

6,500 will have their babies stillborn, or die within the first month of life

 “In 2002 my husband and I were told our 20 week-old daughter Lucy had a life threatening abnormality and would not have survived birth.

In 2003 we were faced with the agonising decision to end the pregnancy and found there was no local support available.

My heartfelt feelings were to try to save others from experiencing that same feeling of isolation and devastation.

In July 2005 I founded Forget Me Not.  Our charity registration was complete in 2006.

Even though so many people are affected by pregnancy loss, it is often a subject ‘brushed under the carpet’ and ignored. We hope to raise awareness and help change attitudes for the future.

For whatever reason you have lost your baby, the end result is the same, we have all lost something we desperately wanted and loved.

Emotional support and clear information can make a real difference in helping to cope.

Not a day goes by when I do not think about Lucy, she is my inspiration and motivation, without her there would be no Forget Me Not.

My vision is to provide resources easily accessible to bereaved parents of the past, present and future.

May you find comfort, help and friendship from Forget Me Not”.
