MP calls for every new maternity unit to have bereavement suite

Some 13 families a day lose their babies before, during or shortly after birth, according to the stillbirth and neonatal death charity Sands (Jeff Moore/PA) - (PA Wire)

Every new maternity unit should have a bereavement suite so grieving parents can “process that pain with privacy and peace”, an MP has said.

Rosie Wrighting warned MPs that the experience of baby loss was “made more difficult” if parents were “surrounded by mothers and families celebrating new life”.
