Meghan Markle lifted ‘taboo’ on miscarriage, say charities

“Yet despite the staggering commonality of this pain, the conversation remains taboo, riddled with shame, and perpetuating a cycle of solitary mourning.”

Every time a celebrity talks about miscarriage or a storyline in a TV show covers the subject, “we see a massive surge in people asking for support”. Roughly one in five – 250,000 pregnancies – end in miscarriage every year in the UK, according to Tommy’s, which funds research into miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth.

The stigma around miscarriage prevents many people from asking for support, said Karen Burgess, chief executive of Petals, a charity that offers counselling to people who have lost a baby.
