New research shows that getting pregnant soon after a miscarriage doesn't seem to carry any more risk than waiting until after 6 months.
However, it's important to give yourself time to grieve your loss if you need it.

Yesterday's report from @mbrrace showed worrying data on the number of women who died during or shortly after pregnancy across 2018-2020.
One of the key findings was that women were 3x more likely to die by suicide in 2020 compared to 2017-19.

#GBS is an often unrecognized cause of #stillbirth. We appreciate everyone's work on this important legislation!
Thank you to @ChuckGrassley for meeting with @CounttheKicksUS, @DebVijayvergiya, @MarchofDimes and others to talk about the need for stillbirth legislation such as the SHINE for Autumn Act and allowing us to thank him for his leadership on this issue! #stillbirth #maternalhealth

The @ONS has confirmed that the stillbirth rate in 2021 went up from 3.8 in 2020 to 4.1 in every 1,000 births.
#SavingBabiesLives must be a priority for the Government to meet its target of reducing stillbirths by 50% by 2025.
