To provide all women with better care during and after miscarriage
Miscarriage is an extremely traumatic time. After care is pretty non existent. Women are merely told to take a pregnancy test 3 weeks following miscarriage- if it’s negative they’re told there’s no need to contact hospital. Women have no follow up at all to check basic things like blood loss etc.
I believe all women should receive care and support during and after miscarriage. There should be follow ups post miscarriage to check blood levels as there’s potentially a lot of blood loss and low iron as a result. There should also be checks to ensure that a woman isn’t experiencing infection, that the blood loss they’re experiencing is normal/abnormal and that they don’t have retained tissue. Women and partners should be offered emotional support to help them through this time.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Care for women during pregnancy and following the loss of a pregnancy is a matter for the NHS and indiviudal clinicians, not the Government or House of Commons.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to review NHS care for women who lose a pregnancy, to identify any issues with how care is provided at present, or to provide additional funding specifically for the care and support of women who lose a pregnancy, if either of those are things you would like to happen.
