In this fourth episode of Midwifery Hour series 10, Sue Macdonald, Midwifery Expert, Mayes Midwifery was joined by Alicia Burnett, Midwife, Tommy’s Baby Charity, and Amina Hatia, Midwifery Manager, Tommy’s Baby Charity.
Black and mixed Black heritage women in the UK experience pregnancy and infant loss at higher rates than their white counterparts. In response to these disparities, Tommy’s Baby Charity have established a Support Service for Black and mixed Black heritage women, and midwife Alicia Burnett has launched Black Baby Loss Awareness Week – an awareness event which aims to improve Black communities’ awareness of support services for women, birthing people and families affected by pregnancy and baby loss.
