Parents Find Comfort After Stillbirth Tragedy

Jade Morris and Joe Bebbington faced a devastating loss when their daughter, Felicity, was stillborn at 36 weeks gestation due to cord compression. This tragic event, which occurred after an emergency C-section at Warwick Hospital, has prompted the couple to establish Felicity's Foundation.

The foundation aims to provide crucial emotional and practical support to other parents navigating the immense grief of stillbirth. They offer resources and comfort, including specially made 'Birth Bears' that match the size and weight of the lost infants.

Nationally, approximately one in every 250 births in England and Wales ends in stillbirth, affecting an estimated 2,255 mothers annually. Jade highlights that many hospitals lack dedicated bereavement suites, making the grieving process even more challenging for affected families.

Felicity's Foundation has already extended its support beyond their local West Midlands area, reaching grieving families across the UK and even internationally, sending bears to Germany and engaging with contacts in Australia. The couple's initiative ensures that other parents receive comfort and remember their babies.
