Mums demand change to stillbirth law saying 'we just want our babies recognised'

Mums who went through the agony of a stillborn birth earlier than 24 weeks have launched a bid to have their children legally recognised.

They are distraught that their “sleeping” children get no birth certificate or help with burials.

All deaths earlier than 24 weeks of pregnancy are treated by law as a miscarriage, even if they are delivered.
