The Government has pledged to provide better support for women who experience pregnancy loss following an independent review of miscarriage care in England 🖋️ RebeccaCNReid for ipaperviews
. Just far earlier than it should be, to something or someone who isn’t alive. It is painful and bloodier than you could ever imagine unless you’ve been there. You physically feel it. And you see it. I was at a train station, on the way back to my family home, when I half ran, half limped to the bathroom and found that I was looking at what should have eventually been my baby. No-one had told me that this was going to happen and no-one had told me what I was supposed to do.
But I was a freelance writer with a precarious career. If I hadn’t had a wonderful boss, I’d have been dragging my blood-soaked body into work every day in order to pay rent and put food on the table. Because in this country there is no statutory miscarriage leave, and so you can sign yourself off on standard sick leave, which entitles you to self certify for a week, after which time you need a GP to agree that you’re physically unfit to work.
There’s a nasty voice in the back of my head which says that I should stop going on about my miscarriage. After all, it was four years ago. And other people have much harder, nastier, worse stories. And – most of all – I have a child now. So really, what am I still complaining about? But then occasionally, around the anniversary, the internet will remind me about what having a miscarriage is like, about being sent home to wait to find out if my baby had died, about miscarrying in a public bathroom, about worrying whether I could stop going to work until the screaming nightmares stopped, and I realise that there is so, so, so much about how we handle miscarriage in the country which needs to change.
