Amanda Holden and Myleene Klass are among celebrities backing the launch of UK pregnancy charity Tommy’s annual Mother’s Day campaign, We See A Mum. The charity launched the campaign to recognise and celebrate all mums, wherever they are on their pregnancy journey, and aims to encourage people to talk more openly about different paths to parenthood.

This year’s campaign focuses on sharing messages of support with others who might find this time difficult ahead of Mother’s Day, and the presenters and charity ambassadors have shared their own personal stories, offering words of hope and encouragement.

A recent survey of Tommy’s supporters found more than half felt sad in the run-up to Mother’s Day, while more than a quarter said they felt anxious or overwhelmed.

Amanda said “In the middle of the night at the height of my grief of giving birth to my still born son Theo, I sadly found no comfort online.  Blinded by tears most websites were convoluted and technically difficult to access. Especially to a person not thinking straight - desperate and fumbling for words or stories similar to her own.
