Death certificates for babies born before 24 weeks


Death certificates for babies born before 24 weeks
The Issue
In the UK babies born before 24 weeks are not allowed a death certificate and we believe this is wrong they are our babies and we have to give birth to them And I think every baby is entitled to a death and birth certificate I had my son when I was five months pregnant and I wasn't entitled to one they would only let me have one if he was to breathe but he didn't and I feel very let down by the system as he doesn't exist on my family tree and a lot of people who have never lost a child will not understand that but parents who have lost babies this certificate Would mean the world to us The more petitions that are out there is better for us as they will know this will mean so much and hopefully they will find it in there heart and know this is the right thing for them to do
