Nicola Sturgeon has said her grief over her miscarriage will stay with her “forever”, as she announced a scheme that will allow women in Scotland to apply for certificates formally recognising their lost babies
There will be no legal requirement on women to register any baby losses. To be eligible the loss must have taken place in Scotland, or those applying must be living in the country.
Ms Sturgeon said: “The loss of a pregnancy or a baby is always painful. I have spoken in the past about my personal experience of miscarriage, and I know the sense of grief will stay with me and my husband forever.
