We provide support to parents who have received a poor foetal diagnosis

This includes parents going through a pregnancy, or who have lost their baby due to life limiting conditions, or termination for medical reasons.

Who We Support

At LMC we offer you non-directive peer support and practical advice if you are facing a poor fetal diagnosis or considering ending a pregnancy for a medical reason.

Primarily support provided has been for women faced with a poor diagnosis in pregnancy, but we can also help if you’re facing a difficult decision because of your own health issues or medical conditions.

You can contact us at whatever stage you find yourself. Whether you are still unsure what you wish to do; your loss was many years ago or last week; you are still in the process of undertaking more tests or awaiting the results of tests.

Our primary goal is to provide safe, confidential and non-directive support for you along this most heart-breaking of journeys.

Support Meetings

LMC support meetings are co-facilitated by founding members. We are not trained counsellors or mental health professionals.

The meeting format is informal, and there is no need to speak if you do not feel ready. These meetings offer you a confidential space to discuss the loss of a much-wanted baby, the stages of the grieving process, friends, family and support networks.

You can explore the feelings of hurt and anger that often accompany this complicated grief. We also share thoughts and ideas for gaining closure and healing.

We ask that attendees to the group respect each other’s perspectives and personal journeys, as well as the privacy of the group.

If you have any questions or concerns before attending a support group, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Activity Sessions

We have in person and online activities each year. These include arts and crafts sessions with the theme of remembering our babies, or cathartic activities such as grief yoga.
