Wales<\/a>.<\/p>\nFiona Giraud, director of midwifery and women\u2019s services for Betsi Cadwaladr University health board, said there were \u201creal concerns\u201d for the mother\u2019s health.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cWe recognise that she is likely to be extremely vulnerable. She may be fearful of seeking the support she needs through fear of identifying herself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Making a direct appeal to the mother, she added: \u201cOur immediate concern is for your health, safety and wellbeing. We recognise that you may be feeling frightened, overwhelmed or unsure about what to do next. Please do not feel that you have to face this alone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t yet know all the circumstances surrounding your baby\u2019s death but what is important right now is that we find you, make sure you are safe and ensure you receive any medical attention and support you may need. You can speak to a healthcare professional, approach a police officer or attend a police station.\u201d<\/p>\n
North Wales police said the baby\u2019s body had been found in Bangor shortly before 5pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n
DS Kelly Wynne said: \u201cWe are concerned the baby\u2019s mother may not be in a position to reach out for support, so we are appealing directly to her, the father and those who may have knowledge, such as friends, family, neighbours or colleagues.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have any information regarding a woman or girl you think may have been pregnant or whose behaviour has been unusual or out of character over the past few months including withdrawing from friends, family or social ties, please contact us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe mother desperately needs help. Anyone with information, we need you to do the right thing to ensure this mother gets the health support she needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll names received will be treated with the utmost discretion and can be eliminated as the mother without delay.\u201d<\/p>\n
The force said a postmortem examination was due to take place on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police are searching for the mother of a newborn baby whose body was found on a Welsh shoreline,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":786819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-786818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/786818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=786818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/786818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/786819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=786818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=786818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=786818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
