Where to Find Baby Loss Support on Tommy's Website

Updated

Tommy's baby loss support starts from the Baby loss support section in the main navigation. From there you can choose the type of loss — miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, termination for medical reasons, or stillbirth — and open pages on what happened, the decisions you may face, and support afterwards. The same section includes the Miscarriage Support Tool, the Wellbeing after Miscarriage programme, and guidance on pregnancy after miscarriage. This guide is for anyone affected by pregnancy or baby loss, and for partners, family and friends looking for information on their behalf.

Start with the type of loss

The Baby loss support menu is organised by experience rather than by a single general page. Opening the entry that matches your situation gets you to the most relevant information fastest.

If your situation is… Go to What you'll find there
Miscarriage Miscarriage An overview, the Miscarriage Support Tool, the wellbeing programme, types of miscarriage, options and decisions, support after miscarriage, tests and treatments, and pregnancy after miscarriage
A pregnancy outside the womb Ectopic pregnancy Information specific to ectopic pregnancy
An abnormal growth of cells in the womb Molar pregnancy Information specific to molar pregnancy
Ending a pregnancy for medical reasons Terminating for medical reasons Information on this decision and what follows
Loss later in pregnancy Stillbirth Information on stillbirth and related support

If you are not sure which category fits, start with Miscarriage — it is the broadest entry and links onward to the related pages.

Tools and programmes in the miscarriage section

Two resources sit inside the miscarriage section and are easy to miss if you only read the overview page:

  • Miscarriage Support Tool — a guided way to work through information and support after a miscarriage.
  • Wellbeing after Miscarriage programme — support focused on how you feel after loss, not just the medical facts.

Both are listed alongside the general miscarriage pages, so open the Miscarriage entry first and look for them there rather than searching the site.

Decisions, tests and support after loss

The miscarriage section also covers the practical questions that come up in the days and weeks after a loss:

  • Options and decisions — the choices you may be offered and how to think them through.
  • Tests and treatments — what may be investigated or offered.
  • Support after miscarriage — where to turn for ongoing help.

Reading these in order — what happened, what your options are, what support exists — mirrors how most people need the information.

Pregnancy after miscarriage

The Pregnancy after miscarriage page sits at the end of the miscarriage section. It is written for people who are pregnant again after a loss and want information specific to that situation, rather than general pregnancy content.

Related sections worth knowing

  • Pregnancy information → Planning a pregnancy includes the Planning for Pregnancy Tool and an ovulation calculator if you are thinking about trying again.
  • Pregnancy information → Being pregnant includes a due date calculator and week-by-week pregnancy pages for a subsequent pregnancy.
  • Talk to a midwife and Helpline for Black women appear in the site navigation as routes to speak to someone directly.
  • Share your story and the newsletter sign-up are in the Get in touch menu if you want to contribute or stay updated.

Common sticking points

  • The menu is long. The Baby loss support section expands into many sub-pages; on a phone, open it and scroll rather than using search, which can surface research or news pages instead of support pages.
  • Support pages and research pages have similar names. Pages under Our research (miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth) describe the charity's research, not personal support. Use the Baby loss support menu for the latter.
  • The site is in English but offers other languages. An "Other languages" link appears at the top of the page if you need it.
  • Donation links are separate. "Donate to Tommy's" and "Pay in your fundraising" are fundraising routes, not support resources — skip them if you are looking for help.
