Petition Action

Stop hospitals telling parents to put miscarried babies in the fridge

Additional Information

The Mariposa Trust (sayinggoodbye.org), is petitioning to stop the practice of hospitals instructing patients to keep their miscarried babies in their home fridges, until the appropriate hospital department is ready to accept the baby. This is a common practice in the UK, especially at weekends. As one of the leading loss charities, we want to see this stopped, as it adds to the already traumatic experience of loss.
