Mummy’s Star is the only charity in the UK and Ireland dedicated to women and their families diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy or within 12 months of giving birth.

Our mission is to provide cancer support to every family facing this traumatic situation. 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 providing comprehensive information and links within this website, 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 them to FAQs sections to try and answer as many of your questions in one place as possible.
