The news of a pregnancy or a recent birth is an exciting time for all prospective and existing parents. It can, however, be cruelly interrupted by the news of a cancer diagnosis and the worry that this brings to both you and your wider family.
Mummy’s Star has been set up specifically to offer support if you find yourself in this situation and we hope that by providing comprehensive information and links in this section, it will help you to get the support you need, access services that are available to you but most importantly know that you are not alone when you are going through this.
The information contained here is reviewed on an ongoing basis and will also be added to as new information becomes known about cancer in pregnancy. Likewise, as we receive more enquiries, we will add to the FAQs section in order to be able to try and answer as many of your questions in one place as possible.
Please contact us here and we can discuss more specifically how we can support you and your family.

McBride staff voted for Mummy’s Star to be their Charity of the Year 2019-2020
Manchester based company, McBride, is the leading manufacturer for domestic household and professional cleaning products and employs an impressive 4000 staff. Mummy’s Star were delighted to have been chosen by staff to be the company’s Charity of the Year for 2019 to 2020 where they raised over £5000. This has made a huge difference to families we support and has enabled us to give emergency grants to families in need during the lockdown period. These grants have been used to pay for things such as iPads to keep families in touch when mum was having to isolate away from the rest of the family, help to cover travel to and from the hospital and specialist baby equipment that is lightweight so mum can continue to look after her baby even after surgery. A huge thank you to everyone for their fantastic fundraising efforts!
