Miscarriages

Counselling can be very helpful at this very stressful time. There are specialised doctors and trained counsellors who provide support and advice when a patient has miscarried.

It is common for a healthy woman to have up to two early miscarriages. When a patient has miscarried three times, this is termed ‘recurrent miscarriage’. There is a special clinic for these patients, where appropriate investigations can be organised. We also have ongoing research projects to investigate the causes of miscarriage and different potential treatment options.

If you would like to talk to someone who has been through the experience of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, you can also contact The Miscarriage Association. This is a national charity, which provides support and information for all on the subject of pregnancy loss. They coordinate a network of over 200 volunteer telephone contacts and 80 support groups throughout the UK. You can contact them on:
