Support for Pregnancy Loss or Complications

Unfortunately pregnancy doesn't always go to plan. Miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and still-birth, along with pregnancy abnormalities and complications can result in trauma, confusion and upset.

Whilst the team at Starlight Ultrasound are here to help and support you, we also want to sign-post some additional useful organisations.

There is some information on the NHS website which includes explanations along with links to support groups and charities.
