Ms Rachel Hill 

Rachel is a bereaved mother to Tommy, who died unexpectedly at 41 weeks from a true knot and tight cord wrapping. Since then, Rachel has also experienced unexplained secondary infertility requiring IVF, a miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy. Rachel’s lived experience drives her passion to change the narrative of infertility, pregnancy loss and stillbirth, by increasing awareness, open discussion, and improved research and clinical practice. Rachel is a Clinical Psychologist and is particularly interested in how to better support women and families who are touched by the grief of infertility, pregnancy loss and stillbirth. Rachel is grateful to be involved with the Stillbirth CRE and advocate for change in perinatal loss research and practice. Rachel is passionate in her desire to positively contribute to the improvement of services in honour of her lost little loves, and in the hopes that future families will have better outcomes.
