Earlier specialised care could prevent 10,000 miscarriages a year, UK study finds

Charity says starting specialised care after first miscarriage instead of third reduces risk of future losses

Giving women access to specialised care after their first miscarriage could prevent about 10,000 pregnancy losses a year across the UK, according to a study.

Currently, women in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are eligible for specialist care on the NHS for early baby losses after they have had a minimum of three miscarriages.
