A UK study suggests routinely offering women further tests after a first miscarriage could prevent more than 10,000 pregnancy losses a year.

In most cases the NHS will run them after a third miscarriage.

Baby and pregnancy charity Tommy’s works in partnership with hospitals like Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea Hospital in Hammersmith.

It says this could spare thousands of families trauma each year.

It also suggests it could save the health service 40-million pounds a year.
