Breaking the 'Rule of Three': New Pilot Scheme Aims to Save Thousands of Babies

1 hour ago•BBC Health via AI

Under current NHS guidelines, women face a heartbroken waiting game, forced to endure three consecutive miscarriages before accessing specialist support. This rigid 'rule of three' leaves thousands of couples suffering in silence, denied vital intervention until after repeated trauma has already occurred.

A revolutionary pilot project now seeks to dismantle this barrier, introducing early care strategies from the moment of first loss. Medical experts predict this proactive approach could prevent thousands of miscarriages every year, shifting the focus from reactive treatment to lifesaving prevention and offering hope to families sooner.
