The Miscarriage Association What is The Miscarriage Association? Founded in 1982 by a group of women who had suffered miscarriage, The Miscarriage Association today co-ordinates a network of over 200 volunteer telephone contracts and 50 support groups throughout the UK. Miscarriage can be a very distressing, frightening and lonely experience. The Miscarriage Association is here to help by: Providing support If you or your partner have had a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy and would like to talk to someone, we can put you in touch with a volunteer in or near your area. Almost all of our volunteer telephone contacts have had personal experience of pregnancy loss. We can give you details of your nearest support group, where you can meet others who have experienced pregnancy loss. Our Special Register may help us to put you in touch with someone who has had a specific problem around pregnancy loss, such as recurrent miscarriage, later loss or ectopic pregnancy. Giving information We publish leaflets and fact - sheets about miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy, including what is currently known about possible causes and different treatments available. We can provide information on specialist hospital provision of services relating to pregnancy loss. We produce a list of suggested reading and keep information on articles and research findings related to pregnancy loss. Working for change We encourage good practice in the way miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy are managed in hospitals and in the community. We promote public awareness of the significance of pregnancy loss The Miscarriage Association, Telephone: 01924 200799 (answerphone out of office hours) For Further information visit the website http://www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk
