It's a great idea, wish all hospitals could have the correct facilities.
I was a Nepean Hospital in Penrith.
It was poor really.
Milana survivied 2 days in Nicu, then we had to turn off life support.
She was placed in my arms. life support was switched off, then i had to be wheeled to a quiet room at the opposite end of Nicu, with everyone watching me talking to her while she died
I stayed in the quiet room for a couple of hours with her, then went back up to the antenatal ward in a private room, could still here all the babies crying though.
I am working with the hospital to change policy at the moment, I am working with the Director to implement a bereavement brochure and with the assistance of NICUPS we have fundraised and bought a Cold Cot (donated in memory of Milana), so all parents can spend precious time with there bubs.
