Fundraisers aim to bring comfort for families facing baby loss

A GENEROUS grant from a volunteer-led group, part of the UK's leading pregnancy and baby loss charity Sands, has funded a bespoke fitted pull-down bed for the bereavement room on the labour ward at Carmarthen’s Glangwili Hospital.

- 

The new bed, which cost over £16,000, transforms the space into amore family-orientated environment, allowing bereaved parents to remain close and comfort one another during an incredibly difficult time.

The bereavement room is part of the newly built labour suite at Glangwili Hospital. The room is fully self-contained, featuring a kitchenette, small dining area and ensuite bathroom.

However, until now, it only offered a birthing bed and a single sofa bed, limiting the ability for partners to rest and support each other.
