Tragic Loss: Parents Start Charity After Stillbirth
19 Jul
Summary
- First-time parents experienced devastating stillbirth of their daughter.
- Baby Felicity was due at 36 weeks gestation; emergency C-section was performed.
- A charity, Felicity's Foundation, was established to support grieving parents.
First-time parents Jade Morris and Joe Bebbington faced unimaginable heartbreak when their daughter, Felicity, was stillborn. The couple, from Leamington in Warwickshire, had attended a routine appointment at Warwick Hospital on January 23rd.
At 36 weeks gestation, scans indicated their baby was undersized, necessitating steroid injections. However, further tests revealed a critical and dramatic slowdown in the baby's heartbeat.
This prompted an emergency Cesarean section. Jade, 29, recounted the devastating moment she woke from anesthesia to learn her baby had not survived.
In the wake of their profound loss, Jade and Joe have founded Felicity's Foundation. This charity is dedicated to offering essential practical and emotional assistance to other parents enduring similar grief.
