Recurrent Miscarriage in the First and Second Trimester Referral Information

Recurrent Miscarriage and Pregnancy Loss Clinic

Patients attending NMH who are diagnosed with a 3rd consecutive early miscarriage or a second trimester loss will be automatically referred for timed investigations and subsequent remote clinic review by Dr Allen.

Referrals from GPs will be triaged and patients fulfilling the criteria will be contacted by the bereavement liaison midwife team. Arrangements will be made for blood and ultrasound investigations to take place, and for subsequent clinic review to occur remotely.

Patients who have previously attended this clinic will already have a care plan for future pregnancy. In the event of a positive pregnancy test, they should follow the advice in their plan to contact the bereavement liaison midwife team who will arrange early pregnancy assessment, any necessary additional prescriptions, and first trimester surveillance with Dr Allen in the antenatal out-patient clinic.

It is not possible at present to provide a second opinion on tests performed in other units.
