At this talk, we will discuss early, late and recurrent miscarriage with experts Hanine Fourie and Anna Nella

Miscarriage is the most common complication of pregnancy with 1 in 4 women experiencing at least one miscarriage during their reproductive lifetime. A miscarriage is the loss of a baby before 24 weeks of pregnancy.Contrary to the widespread belief that early pregnancy is too soon to grieve a loss, or that only mothers feel bereft, medical research charity Tommy’s have found profound psychological effects on both parents. And yet, a woman currently has to go through 3 miscarriages before she is offered care or treatment. Most of us will know someone who has been affected by miscarriage, and yet it is still largely a taboo. At this talk, we will discuss early, late and recurrent miscarriage with experts Hanine Fourie and Anna Nella, and explore some of the current areas of research and care pathways available.SpeakersHanine Fourie is a Specialist Registrar in Obstetrics and Gynaecology with a keen interest in early pregnancy care. She recently completed a clinical research fellowship in early pregnancy at Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital in London. She recruited more than 400 women to the ‘Early Pregnancy events and Outcomes Study’ (EPOS), studying clinical, ultrasound, blood and vaginal microbial markers as predictors of first trimester miscarriage. Anna Nella is a bereavement specialist midwife, currently working at GSTT in London. She supports families who have been affected by baby loss due to late miscarriage, termination for medical reasons. stillbirth and neonatal death. Her work includes ongoing support postnatally as well as during subsequent pregnancies.Anna also runs private antenatal classes with a particular interest in tailoring workshops to support families who are pregnant after loss. She has worked as a midwife at Tommy’s for nearly a decade and is proud to be involved in a team invested in research to save babies’ lives and provide trusted pregnancy information.Anna is passionate about her work in supporting families to make an unimaginable situation more bearable by providing excellent care, love and empathy, so families do not feel so alone during this profoundly difficult life changing bereavement.<a href="https://www.tommys.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Visit the Tommy&#x27;s website here</a>This event is free, but we are very grateful for any donations.
