Remove 24 week gestation requirement for a baby loss to be registered

We feel that all baby loss should be acknowledged. One in four pregnancies will heartbreakingly end in a loss of a baby, but sadly so many families don't get any type of acknowledgment of their baby. Being able to register their baby would mean so much to many families.

At the moment so many families don't get any acknowledgement of their baby unless they are at a certain gestation, and so many families would like some type of acknowledgment. Talking to families who have been through a loss, so many have got absolutely nothing when it comes to the loss of their baby. This has made so many families feel like their losses don't matter, but they do.
