Class babies that have passed from 12 weeks on as stillbirth not miscarriage!

Closed 143 signatures

What the petition asks

My daughter passed at 16 weeks gestation and i delivered her naturally at 20 weeks. She was perfect in everyway. Toes fingers everything all perfectly formed. She just wasnt alive. Shes down 'officially' as a miscarriage and i think the law on this needs changed!!
Unfortunately a lot of babies who have passed before 24 weeks and are 'categorized' as a miscarriage. This itself is a miscarriage of justice. Our children were here, we held them, we talked to them. They may have been born sleeping but they were still born!!
