Dear Kate,
Perhaps a special soft toy for each twin could be included, cards sent from friends, angels - there's some nice prints/cards of 2 cherubs kissing which represents twins very nicely.  Our family celebrates each birthday and Christmas with gifts and cards for our own angelbaby.  These then go in to her memory box.
Take care,
Joy

Subject: [ozmidwifery] Stillbirth memory ideas

Hi
 
I'm a first year BMid. A little over a month ago, one of my follow through women had stillborn twins. Because she is still quite ill (and in hospital), the funeral is yet to be held and we have just starting to talk about momentos. We've covered a lot, but I wanted any other ideas.
 
We've talked about:
 
  • photos
  • foot, hand & lip prints
  • hair & nail clippings
  • body tracing
  • hospital bracelets
  • cot name cards
  • cord clamps
  • tape measure
  • blanket
  • clothing
  • anything that has come into contact with the babies
  • memory box
Any other ideas would be gratefully received.
 
Kate
