A range of resources to help you make an informed decision on your next steps.
These resources should not replace talking with your healthcare team. Ask them about any questions or concerns you have after reading the booklet and watching these videos. Take your time to watch these.
You can pause or replay as many times as you need. There is also no rush to make your decision. Your support team will be able to tell you how much time you have. You can still spend time with your baby.
For Parents of Loss
This clip has been created by bereaved parents for bereaved parents to help share common thoughts and feelings around stillbirth investigation and autopsy. Our hope is this clip will help you know you’re not alone.
In this video, you may hear the term bub. Bub is a common way to say Baby in many Aboriginal communities.
Autopsy & Investigation
