We don't have our babies here today with us but having something to keep to show they are acknowledged would mean the world to many families.

I lost my daughter at 19+4 and delivered her at 20+1.

She was a perfect baby who just needed to grow some more.

She had a heartbeat. She was real.

I would have loved to have had a birth & death certificate to keep. Because she did exist and she was still born.

I can say on behalf of many families who have lost their children before 24 weeks just how much having a certificate to show they were real would mean to them.
