1 in 5 parents lose a baby through miscarriage. Despite its devastating impact, miscarriage is often dismissed as something that ‘wasn’t meant to be’. At Tommy’s we believe more can be done. Our National Centre for Miscarriage Research conducts ground-breaking research, improves care and save lives.

Situation
The heartbreak of losing a baby causes emotional and physical pain to thousands of families across the UK. 1 in 6 who miscarry experience long-term post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and many suffer with their grief in silence. The lack of investment in miscarriage research and medical knowledge leaves devastated parents with unanswered questions and worries. Despite this, current UK guidelines mean parents must lose 3 babies in-a-row before receiving any support.
Solution
At our National Centre for Miscarriage Research our dedicated team is finding causes and solutions. Here, parents receive specialist care and take part in trials to help our researchers develop new tests and treatments. Our 2019 Big Give campaign helped us create a National Miscarriage Care Package. With your help, we will test and implement this UK-wide. We will keep conducting research, developing tests, creating treatments and improving care, to better support families and save babies’ lives.
