A better method and understanding when dealing with miscarriage and babyloss

Closed 508 signatures

What the petition asks

After experiencing a miscarriage 12 weeks I found the NHS aren't educated or given the right tools to deal with this.

We need -

More adequate information, compassion and understanding!
More adequate information - currently
In my local hospital is an a4 piece of paper. Any sort of leaflet or info pack to let you what is happening and what to expect.

More compassion - it's not a taboo subject and it isn't a something to be ashamed of. 1 in 4 people suffer so why do we feel ashamed?

Men suffer too - my partner received a day off work for compassionate leave

We need an all round more compassionate and sensible review of how the NHS deals with a family loosing a baby
