Have you been told about peri-natal hospice care?
It is a type of care that can happen in any hospital throughout Ireland. It means that you get the care you need to make the journey you have with your baby memorable and as peaceful as possible. Some of us benefited from peri-natal hospice style care, simple things that meant a lot to us; like getting extra time at the scans, having the whole family there, attending appointments at a different time to mothers of healthy babies.
