Ep 181. New Miscarriage Guidelines in Australia: What Every Mum Should Know

Miscarriage affects one in four pregnancies, yet many mums are left with little support or clarity around what comes next.

In this Check-In Tuesday episode, Dr Renee White unpacks the newly released national guidelines for miscarriage and early pregnancy loss in Australia. Developed by RANZCOG, these are the first of their kind and aim to bring consistency and compassion to miscarriage care.

Renee walks through the key updates from medical definitions to emotional support and shares why this is a long-overdue step toward better care for women and families.

You’ll hear about:

• What the new guidelines cover and how they’ll impact care
• Why changing the definition of recurrent miscarriage matters
• The role of language, empathy and communication in clinical settings
• Why location shouldn’t determine the quality of care mums receive
• What’s still missing and where improvement is needed
