Mother's devastating experience of maternity care sees Canberra open dedicated early pregnancy loss unit

Mother Karen Schlage says her advocacy is in honour of her babies Charlie and Sophia.

A Canberra mother's passionate push for change has led to the opening of a dedicated early pregnancy loss unit at the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children.

Karen Schlage lost her son Charlie at 16 weeks' gestation in 2018, and a year later, spoke out about the undignified care she said she received in Canberra's public health system.
