So much of what happens during miscarriage is without dignity — this idea would help restore some of that.

It was a privilege to meet Laura and to see how much good has come from her own lived experience, the cradles are great quality and so good for ladies who sadly miscarry early in their pregnancy.

"I’m sorry, there’s no heartbeat"

My story...

I heard the words, "I'm sorry, there's no heartbeat".

​Those words will stay with me forever. I went in for an early 8-week scan, full of hope but with a deep feeling inside that something was wrong. I had pushed for an extra check, needing reassurance. But instead, I was told that my baby was no longer with us. They had passed away just shy of 7 weeks. I was devastated. My world had been ripped apart.

Dignity matters, care matters

With 500 miscarriages occurring daily in the UK alone, the gap in adequate services, especially within frameworks like the NHS, is both significant and deeply concerning. Recognising the complex emotional and physical needs during such times, we are developing an innovative solution that promises to offer significant support without compromising on privacy and sensitivity, and empowering patient choice.

Some women choose to miscarry at home, others find themselves with no choice but to do so due to unacceptably long waiting times at hospitals, a situation that only deepens the already acute lack of adequate care.  In both scenarios, women have to resort to using makeshift materials found in the kitchen to manage the situation, significantly adding to the physical and emotional trauma of the experience.
