Olivia Blake who miscarried first child last year has secured debate in parliament to ‘rethink narrative around miscarriage’
An MP who miscarried her first child last year says women should not have to endure three miscarriages before receiving support, before a debate on the subject in parliament.
Olivia Blake, the MP for Sheffield Hallam, spoke in parliament last year about going to A&E on her own in early pregnancy while her partner had to wait in the car due to Covid restrictions. She described the isolating experience of “being unable to have a hug or someone to hold my hand or support me on hearing the news that I was having a miscarriage”.
