Newcastle mother Sophie was put in a lunch room to wait before her stillbirth. She is one of many calling for access to bereavement rooms in all hospitals.
Laura Hipwell gave birth to her daughter Leonie Ringo in Bendigo in October 2022."It just feels really unfair," she said.
"We were just trying to appreciate the precious time we had, just trying to really appreciate this beautiful little girl that we had created."But Ms Hipwell said there needed to be a nationwide policy to ensure others received the same level of care. "I think they need to have a policy, where they try to minimise the amount of sound from other families," she said."Resources and memory-making opportunities need to be given and they need to make sure no-one is rushed.""We were so glad Bendigo has a cuddle cot. A lot of hospitals don't have that," she said.Ms Toneguzzi also wants to see more conversation and education around stillbirths, to ensure women, babies and their families get the best care possible.
