your advice & help please!

Hi,
Thank you in advance for your advice and help with a journey I wish to embark on.

I am a mobile 3D4D Baby Ultrasound tech on the Gold Coast and would like to offer my service to families who are expecting a child who they will soon loose after birth, or may be pregnant with a baby that does not have a favourable future, if parents wish to have some valued 'bonding' time with their baby whilst s/he are safely inside mums womb - before the heartache of birthing/losing the baby really begins.

I'm not exactly sure if there is an organization/support group I can get in contact with to express what I want to do - & to let parents know of this service (will be called Seeing Angels to compliment Seeing Miracles). Does anyone know if there is an organization or could steer me in the direction of someone to contact? I am Gold Coast based.

Also, in your valued opinion - would you use this service? I obviously know it's not for everyone and won't be offended if you say no - I am just wondering if having the opportunity to bond with the baby is something people would want?

I am not wanting to charge... I have received two healthy daughters, I want to give to people who have been dealt the hand that we all hope we don't have dealt to us.

Thank you in advance - your guidance is appreciated.

I think what you are proposing to do is very kind and generous.

I don't know who you would need to contact in QLD, but if all else fails you could try Little Angel Memory Boxes (LAMB). I know they are based in NSW, but they may have contacts in QLD / be able to point you in the right direction. Just a thought :)

Hi,
My personal perspective is yes, at the time I would have used this service as it would have been incorporated into my grief process. My dh would not have used it as it doesnt fit with his idea of grief.

What a lovely opportunity for parents.

Hugs to you- it is very kind :hugs:

The day we lost our unborn darling was the worst in our life- and we lost without ever getting the chance to see them. I would have given the world to hold them, but to see them would be the next best thing. I don't know if everyone would feel the same- it might amplify the grief of some, but I think it would help others. It would have helped me :(
