Miscarriage Care and Support
Here at Innermost, we’ve helped over 20,000 parents since we started. We celebrate with many; we also walk each step with those who have lost babies due to miscarriage. It happens more often than we might think; about 1 in 6 of all pregnancies (15%) end in miscarriage. Yet talking about baby loss and about trying for another baby is sometimes the most difficult thing to do. We offer a number of services if you have had previous miscarriages or you’re concerned about miscarriage in your current or future pregnancy.
Miscarriage and Recurrent Miscarriage
Around a quarter of a million women in the UK each year experience a miscarriage It can be a devastating event and it’s really important to acknowledge how differently people respond to the loss of a much-wanted baby. Here in the UK, the Miscarriage Association can be a really helpful and informative source of advice and support at this most difficult of times.
After a miscarriage, it is important to know about the risk factors for a further miscarriage. For example, maternal age (affecting ovarian function) and the previous number of miscarriages (there is a slight increase in the risk of miscarriage in a subsequent pregnancy following one or even two previous miscarriages) are both risk factors in any subsequent pregnancy.
About 50 out of every 100 women with recurrent miscarriage (the loss of 3 or more consecutive pregnancies) have an underlying reason for it, although we may not always be able to find out what it is or treat it. However, careful and methodical testing can find potential risk factors, many of which can be treated. Here at Innermost, we offer the range of standard tests plus endometrial biopsy testing for NK Cells.

Early Pregnancy Reassurance
Couples who have experienced a previous miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or recurrent miscarriages are understandably anxious about the risk of another miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy in any subsequent pregnancy. They often choose to supplement their NHS care (most NHS hospitals offer a single early pregnancy scan at 11 to 13 weeks ) with additional ultrasound scans to cover the time from the first signs of pregnancy until the viability of the pregnancy has been confirmed and an ectopic pregnancy has been excluded.
We offer a range of Early Pregnancy Support options for you to choose from:
- early pregnancy scans from 6 to 13 weeks; you can decide how many scans you would like
- our ‘Early Pregnancy Support Package’ with weekly scans from 7 to 13 weeks (to confirm that the pregnancy is intrauterine and not ectopic and that the baby is developing normally with a heartbeat present)
- emergency scans for pregnant women with pain or bleeding who are concerned about ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage
