Baby loss awareness: Our experience should not be a 'whispered secret'

Ms Gorvett said she had not been asked, and had not agreed to a termination, but was automatically given a slot for one.At one point she said the consultant asked her: "Are you telling me that this pregnancy is very precious to you?".

She was told most parents in her situation did not want interventions to help the baby if anything went wrong.Sophie was born early and was a "little fighter" says her mother"I didn't even have a bed for her to sleep in because I didn't think I'd be leaving the hospital with a live baby.

"We were out walking by the side of the Brecon canal. She took about three breaths and she was gone. She didn't struggle, it was very peaceful. We've since planted a pink Hawthorn tree there and put a plaque where she passed away." Partly funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, 'You're Not Alone' calls for more open discussion around life limiting genetic birth disorders.
