At the end of the event, Stylist presented Streeting with the report – the UK’s biggest ever investigation into miscarriage and pregnancy loss. With more than 90 stories, it issues four recommendations for how care around miscarriage must be transformed, including:

Implementing empathy training for staff who have direct contact with newly bereaved parents.
Officially recording miscarriage and pregnancy loss.
Creating separate spaces for those on the miscarriage pathway within Early Pregnancy Units.
Providing all women and bereaved parents with an aftercare plan.

We’re hoping to meet with Streeting again in six months’ time to see what progress has been made while also supporting Tommy’s in its campaign for a graded model of care for miscarriage and baby loss. That would see a tiered system based on the number of previous miscarriages being rolled out across the country. After your first loss, you’d be screened for mental health support and guidance on reducing the risk of future losses; by the third, you’d receive care in a medical, consultant-led clinic. Having that system in place would go a long way to putting a stop to the isolation and fear felt by many women and families who currently face miscarriage and recovery alone.

Our morning with Wes Streeting was more than a meeting. It was a milestone – proof that when women speak out, change becomes not only possible but inevitable. The campaign may have started with heartbreak, but it ends with hope.
