Families who have taken part in research trials at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust
The country's first national research centre dedicated to early miscarriage has opened at Imperial College London. The centre, funded by Tommy's - the UK baby charity, will seek to understand why miscarriage happens, if it is likely to happen again and how to prevent it. Miscarriage is by far the biggest cause of pregnancy loss in the UK - yet it's also the least understood by medical science. Around 250,000 mothers and their partners area affected by miscarriage every year, with 85 per cent of miscarriages occurring within the first 12 weeks. Parents often receive no answers when it happens. Tommy's aims to halve the number of miscarriages by 2030 by funding medical research to understand the cause and effect of miscarriage. Miscarriage has always been something "people don't talk about".
