Give babies born before 24 weeks recognition

Additional Information

I want to make a petition so babies born before 24 weeks can be recognised as a stillbirth and not a miscarriage.

I understand why babies are not registered as stillborn before then, there's the abortion limit (but let's not go into that)
and because most babies are not usually viable before 24 weeks.

despite this I still feel that babies born under 24 weeks should be given some sort of recognition, even if we can't legally class our babies as stillborn, what about a 'non viable stillbirth'

I'm sure I speak for all women/families who have given birth to babies under the 24 week mark and be told we had a miscarriage, it's insensitive.
