キャサリン妃
During her visit, the duchess praised the bravery of a mother who confided how the loss of her baby girl inspired her to become a midwife.
Kate met Clare Worgan who admitted that the day her daughter Alice was stillborn was both the best and the worst day of her life, as through her grief she decided to re-train to offer to help other women suffering the same loss.
Ms Worgan, 39, who now works for the bereavement charity Sands, which funds research into stillbirth, premature birth and miscarriage, told the duchess that she spent three days in the hospital in Manchester after Alice was born in September 2017.
‘We spent those three days cramming in a lifetime’s worth of memories,’ she said. ‘When she was born, she was absolutely perfect. Her birth was literally the best thing that ever happened to me. And also the worst thing that ever happened to me.
‘When we went home our lives had been turned upside down. We had been devastated. A week after Alice’s funeral I decided I wanted to become a midwife, because the care I received was so amazing. I wanted to do what they had done for me.’
Up to then she had been a project manager for a firm of civil engineers. But she went back to university and trained as a midwife, and now works with health professionals on how to help families when the worst happens.
‘It is difficult for anyone to know what to say when a baby dies. But it is really hard for doctors and midwives,’ she explained ‘Alice literally changed my life. I feel her short little life is having quite a big impact.’
The duchess told her: ‘It’s so brave of you to be able to talk so openly. A lot of the research, a lot of the support for organisations, is being driven by parents who have been through this experience, and want to help others. It is so inspirational.’
Ms Worgan, from Worthing, Sussex, said one of the hardest things had been the sense of isolation. She told the duchess: ‘When I went home, I literally wanted to tell the world about my baby - how beautiful she was, what she weighed, what it felt like to give birth. But no-one wanted to hear it. In the supermarket, people would see me and turn round and go in the opposite direction, because people don’t know what to say.’
Kate also met Sarah and Adam Carrick, who suffered four miscarriages after the birth of their first son. The second time she went into labour at 20 weeks and delivered the baby on the bathroom floor.
‘It was very traumatic,’ said Mrs Carrick, 26, a child minder from Tunbridge Wells, Kent. ‘We were told it was bad luck.’
It was only when she went to Tommy’s that she discovered that there was a link between emergency Caesareans - as she had with her first child - and later miscarriages. They now have a second son, Ari, 20 months.
Dr Clea Harmer, chief executive of Sands and Chair of the Baby Loss Awareness Alliance, added:
“This year during Baby Loss Awareness Week we are highlighting the isolation many people experience after pregnancy and baby loss. In the pandemic, feelings of isolation have become more widespread than ever and many people have begun to talk more openly about grief. Many of those whose baby died during the pandemic will not have been able to spend time making memories or saying goodbye to their baby in the way they would have wanted to. Now more than ever, we can all come together to let those affected by pregnancy and baby loss know they are not alone, and we are all here to support them.”
