Rejected petition Separate care and treatment for women suffering a miscarriage.
Currently women have to endure the horrendous torture of sitting often in early pregnancy units or wards when suffering miscarriage. They have to sit alongside women and couples whose pregnancies are viable. This is inhumane and heartbreaking, and morally wrong.
More details
To create a separate space/ departments whereby women and couples whom experience loss can grieve without having to witness others happiness at their misfortune. Often women and are placed in a cleaners cupboard space to grieve initially because there often isn't a dedicated space for them. This must change.
