ClinicaliQ Brief
  • Key Takeaways for Clinical Practice
  • Early pregnancy loss (17-19 weeks) represents a significant psychological burden requiring compassionate counselling and mental health follow-up beyond routine miscarriage management.
  • Recurrent pregnancy loss warrants investigation and individualised management planning to identify underlying causes and optimise outcomes in subsequent pregnancies.
  • Patient advocacy and narrative-sharing around pregnancy loss can help normalise discussion, reduce stigma, and improve support-seeking behaviours among affected women.
