Bill & Melinda Gates comment on @unibirmingham research: "...identified 7 ways of restarting progress. They include a post-partum haemorrhage kit...with a drape that allows doctors and midwives to easily see if blood loss is reaching a dangerous amount. https://t.co/oKWI50JIYR

The 'Graded Model of Care for Miscarriage' will ensure every woman gets care after every miscarriage, and not wait till she has 3 miscarriages to get NHS care. Graded care proposed by @tommys and @TheLancet Series, recommended in #PRL & supported by Govt. https://t.co/KcBtGvTIbR

[Tommy's @tommys]

Today’s Pregnancy Loss Review marks an important milestone in our #MiscarriageMatters campaign. Backed by the Government, it includes our Graded Model of Care so no one needs to endure 3 losses in a row. Plus 24/7 access to compassionate care.

Research into miscarriage prevention showed that progesterone could help where women were experiencing bleeding and had a history of pregnancy loss. The treatment, adopted by NICE, could prevent 8,000+ miscarriages each year! https://t.co/aZAlf6BL5l
