98% of stillbirths happen in low and middle income families. Miscarriages are more common but there is a high rate of Depression and anxiety. This is due to a lot of parents not finding out what the cause of miscarriage was. It can be very difficult to cope with and couples begin to think it was there fault. These illnesses can effect up to 30% of pregnant women and men. Past studies have shown that women who have experienced baby loss have significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression.
The Solution is to stop the Isolation of parents not given the help and care needed after the loss of a baby. This is the most traumatic time of anyones lives and you can live in isolation. The taboo subject of baby loss is still there but we as a charity want to give the parents an understanding of the grief and coping strategies to use. If the parents dont talk about it this can lead to seperation. With the retreat this gives them space to talk
