I am one of tens of millions of women around the world who have suffered pregnancy loss and as my work as global health correspondent has shown me many times, i know how lucky i am to receive the level of care i have had. the conversation around pregnancy loss is opening up so much more in the uk, with things like this beautiful exhibition here in manchester. but after my losses, it struck me, given how physically and mentally painful miscarriage can be, why are we not talking about it more? why...

You werent listened to, you werent heard ? the colour of my skin. "black skin, its not from here, you can wait." there is very little doctors can do to save a baby at this stage in pregnancy, but the feeling of not being listened to is what has stayed with isabel. judah, wa key—wa key. more than 100 miles away in hornchurch in essex, natasha cradles littlejudah. she experienced eight miscarriages before his arrival, including a late loss almost five months into her pregnancy. hello! whats goin...

Scanned and told there was no heartbeat. i collapsed, i got sick right there and then and she asked me, "why are you throwing up? did you come here sick?" and i had to explain to her, "you just told me my baby no longer has a heartbeat," so there was no compassion. i woke up, i was having really bad back pain and i was told by my doctor when i called that i wasjust constipated. they told me to come back in a few hours for an ultrasound. i never even made it back to that ultrasound because i misc...

Thank you so much. for raul, liam, matt and all those speaking out, the aim is to help others who might be secretly struggling. many people choose not to talk about their losses, but its about having the opportunity to if and when needed. whats the worst that can happen? we cant make anyone feel worse about what theyve gone through, but actually, we can make a lot of people feel a little bit more at ease. yes, baby loss doesnt discriminant, doesnt care yes, baby loss doesnt discriminate, doesnt ...

Back to that ultrasound because i miscarried at home. all four women described numerous occasions when they didnt feel their concerns were taken seriously by clinicians. i just dont think were being listened to and heard in the spaces. do you think it is about the colour of your skin? all: absolutely. it really is a struggle all around when it comes to our maternal care. ive come to queen charlottes and chelsea hospital here in west london, which sees many black and ethnic minority patients, to ...

And saying, "just go home, why do you keep coming? "just take codeine and paracetamol, you will be fine." i was actually losing fluids and bleeding at the time. within 48 hours of going home, isabel started bleeding heavily. she was rushed to hospital, but her baby boy died. and why do you feel you werent listened to, you werent heard ? the colour of my skin. "black skin, its not from here, you can wait." there is very little doctors can do to save a baby at this stage in pregnancy, but the feel...

I just do�*t think were being listened to and heard in the spaces. do you think it is about the colour of your skin? all: absolutely. and heard from one group often left out of the conversation. my wife was near to death. i had a cry sitting on the toilet, because that was the only time i could get to be alone. the hats knitted lovingly for twins that were never worn. the tiny teddy which nestled next to a tiny baby, born silent. the beautiful shoes bought for stillborn babyjenny on what would...

Miscarriage can be, why are we not talking about it more? why do we not know more about what happens? my name is professor siobhan ouenby. my name is natasha necati. rukhsana. ive spent the last few months looking into how pregnancy loss impacts families all around the world and how they can be better supported, why the colour of our skin can affect our chances of having a healthy pregnancy. i just dont think were being listened to and heard in the spaces. do you think it is about the colour of ...
