Fund better support for women experiencing pregnancy loss and miscarriage

Petition Details

On 5th March I should have been in labour, instead I started this petition to try to change a system that let me and so many women and babies down.

Additional Information

My blog is here if you wish to know more details and why these changes should be implemented: https://medium.com/shout-in-the-dark/a-miscarriage-of-law-30d63ff3ac4e

The Government should fund -
All hospitals should offering counselling and remembrance certificates after pregnancy loss.
All staff in EPAU and maternity undergoing training in language use and bereavement.
All hospitals to offer a scan and surgical management within a week of miscarrying/confirmatory scan.
Optional statutory maternity leave and death registration from 16 weeks.
Optional Investigations after 2 (non-consecutive) miscarriages.
