A woman whose baby died when she was 20 weeks’ pregnant is still campaigning to change the law on death certificates and hopes to turn her support group into a registered charity.

Lisa Bailey, 31, formerly of Maison Dieu Road, Dover, set up a petition calling on death certificates to be given from 16 weeks after she lost her son Amin four months ago.

She has set up Angel baby Amin’s pregnancy loss support group on Facebook to help other parents who have been through the same situation.

Miss Bailey, a door woman in Dover, who now lives in George Roche Road, Canterbury, has started releasing hundreds of petals in to the sea bearing the name of a baby and its birth date.

Members of the group have asked Miss Bailey to include their babies’ names from as far afield as Canada and Cyprus.

She is also sending plaques to parents with their baby’s name engraved on them.

She said: “It’s for them to keep in their homes. I’m doing it for people who can’t afford things like that due to their circumstances.

“I want to do my best to try and help people. I know what it’s like to struggle and when you lose your baby on top of that the world turns upside down.”

She said the support group has been a real lifeline for her and its 400 members.

Two plaques have been donated by NGS Security in Aylesham but the rest of the funds are coming out of her own pocket.

Eventually she would like it to become a registered charity and has set up a PayPal account for donations on the Facebook page.

She said: “I want to raise awareness. It shouldn’t be a taboo subject, people should talk about it.

“I want to keep my son’s memory alive.”

The page is a place for people to share pictures of their sleeping babies and talk openly about their grief.

So far the petition for birth and death certificates to be given from 16 weeks has gained 2,187 signatures.

If Miss Bailey can reach 10,000 signatures by October 15, which is her birthday and also Baby Loss Awareness Day, then Parliament has to issue a response.

She has already had a letter from Canterbury MP Julian Brazier who said he sympathises with her cause.

A response from the Department of Health explained that there are no plans to lower the age of sleeping babies who can be registered.

It claims it was reduced from 28 weeks to 24 weeks’ gestation in the 90s because medical professionals agreed this was the earliest age of viability.

Miss Bailey still does not have answers on why her baby died but said the certificate would give her some sense of closure.
