Rainbow Baby Week exists to raise awareness of pregnancy after loss – the importance of support during this period for a family – and to highlight amazing work happening out there to support families through this journey. 

This year, our overall theme is ‘Community Matters.’ The pregnancy after loss support community has grown over the years and support is more widely available than when we first started. We hope you’ll join us this week to learn more about pregnancy after loss, hear stories from people with lived experience and consider how we can all care for those on this difficult journey – whether that’s a family member, colleague, friend or someone under your care. 

Where can I join in?

Our content will be published daily on our Instagram account: @willowsrainbowbox

We will also post links to our videos and bigger documents, such as our military families stories and maternity workers stories, on this website.
