Summary
A new medical guideline has been released for consultation by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, bringing together all the available evidence on possible risks and causes of recurrent miscarriage, potential treatment options, management of subsequent pregnancies and best practice in supportive care.
The new draft Recurrent Miscarriage guideline – last published in 2011 – supports a move towards a graded model of care where women are provided with individualised care earlier.
In the UK, women can only access support after they have experienced three miscarriages in a row. The new approach would see women offered information and guidance to support future pregnancies after one miscarriage, an appointment at a miscarriage clinic for initial investigations after two miscarriages, and a full series of evidence-based investigations and care – as described in this guideline - after three miscarriages.
