Summary

A small feasibility study to explore the role of music therapy as part of memory making experiences in mothers who are experiencing a pregnancy where screening tests show that the foetus has a condition meaning they may not develop to full term, survive the birth or that the new-born will have continued complications and limited life expectancy once born. The outcome of this study will be to determine the feasibility and acceptability of offering antenatal music therapy for families experiencing pregnancies where a foetal condition or anomaly means that comfort care only is planned for the baby after birth and to assess if the development of a musical memory-making tool will be relevant for this patient group within the current bereavement midwifery services. The study plans to use the recorded heartbeat of the unborn foetus and then to combine this with music of the family's choice to create a memory track which can then be saved into a recording device such as a memory bear for the family to keep. It is proposed that this intervention could complement current memory making processes already being offered by services such as bereavement midwives working within Hospital trusts.
