Miscarriage is, sadly, an all-too-common event - about one in every four pregnancies ends this way. A further one per cent of pregnancies are ectopic – that is, they start developing in the wrong place, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. Common or not, it’s not something that most people know much about, so you won’t be alone if you have lots of questions and are hoping to find answers here.

We will do our best to provide information that will help you make sense of what is happening, what has happened and what might still happen. We hope that this will help you cope with your pregnancy loss (or threatened loss) and to plan for the future.
