Myleene Klass, a strong advocate for women’s health and former singer of Hear’Say, has been actively supporting changes to the Women’s Health Strategy in Parliament. One of her main concerns was the need for immediate help for women who experience miscarriages, without having to endure multiple losses. As someone who has personally experienced this pain, Klass is thrilled with the new measures announced by the Department of Health and Social Care.
The new package of measures includes a pilot scheme that will provide medical intervention for women after each miscarriage. Klass, in an interview with PA news agency, expressed her pride in these changes, stating that they will prevent other women from going through the “hell” she experienced. She shared her personal journey in the BAFTA-nominated documentary, “Myleene Klass: Miscarriage And Me”. Klass has found strength in her pain and believes that her advocacy will benefit many others.
Klass also highlighted her unexpected journey into campaigning, crediting Labour MP Olivia Blake for inspiring her. Blake bravely shared her own experience of miscarriage in Parliament, leading Klass to question why women have to suffer multiple losses before receiving help. Klass and Blake, both determined women who have faced heartbreak, formed a lasting friendship through their shared grief.
The pilot scheme will be launched by Tommy’s Miscarriage Centre at Birmingham Women and Children’s Hospital. It aims to implement a “graded model” of miscarriage care, providing testing and advice to women after their first, second, or third miscarriage. The goal is to identify any underlying medical conditions and prevent further loss. The Government will assess the outcomes of the pilot at the end of the year.
Klass expressed her joy and disbelief over the changes, emphasizing that no woman will have to endure three miscarriages before receiving help. Immediate care will be provided after the first miscarriage, with testing following the second miscarriage. And if a third miscarriage occurs without hope, women will have access to a consultant who can offer assistance.
While Klass hopes for future changes, such as recording miscarriages in the bill of change, she is currently celebrating these significant strides forward. The changes are a result of the published pregnancy loss review, which aimed to improve NHS gynaecology and maternity care. Minister for women’s health, Maria Caulfield, expressed her gratitude to the women who campaigned for change and to the review leads, Zoe Clark-Coates and Samantha Collinge.
The government remains committed to supporting women through pregnancy loss and providing world-class healthcare. Klass is thrilled with the progress made and looks forward to a future where no woman has to suffer in silence.
