Rainbow service

A rainbow baby is a term for a child born to a family that has previously lost a child through miscarriage, stillbirth or death during infancy.

As a rainbow appears in the sky when sunlight comes through after a dark time, a rainbow baby can signify hope and beauty following a loss, but can also mean a range of emotions for parents.

Our Rainbow Service aims to support those who have experienced loss and who are now expecting a rainbow baby.
