What the petition asks
For more awareness on all types of miscarriages, including silent and molar pregnancies and an early scan, between the 6th-8th week, is what we ask to add to the normal routine checks.
We should not be asked to pay for an early scan privately. 1 in 4 is found with a miscarriage and sadly, only detected during the 12th-week scan, but most of the time the miscarriage happened during the 6th to the 8th-week period.
Although physically the outcome is the same, mentally it could make a big change.
Women shouldn't live in a limbo for 12 weeks.
