Tears of joy over victory in campaign to end agony of bereaved mums on labour wards

A bereaved mum is celebrating the success of her campaign to end the heartbreak of women who miscarry on regular maternity wards. Louise Caldwell said she cried tears of joy when she learnt special units were to be provided at her local hospital.

The Daily Record reported the announcement that the first of the special units is on its way came three weeks after the newspaper reported Louise's call for urgent action to provide the facilities at all Scotland's maternity hospitals. It is expected to open on October 31 at Wishaw General Hospital.

Mother-of-three Louise, 39, said: “I just can’t believe a wee mammy from East Kilbride has been able to achieve something like this.” She began her campaign with a petition to the Scottish Parliament after suffering a miscarriage three years ago.
