Mum's kit to help women after hell of miscarriage
FAMILY With daughter Cora & hubby Ronan SUPPORT Laura and Ronan with Amies' Terry Millward & Stuart Taylor
A WOMAN who was told to take her miscarried baby to hospital in a takeaway box is fighting for better treatment of bereaved mums.
Laura Corcoran, 33, designed a device to help women find dignity in the ending of their pregnancies after losing several tots of her own in the first trimester.
Her Miscarriage Collection Cradle hooks on to a toilet seat and collects the remains so women who have had recurrent losses can bring back the cells to hospital for further investigation.
Engineer Laura came up with the idea following her third miscarriage in February 2024, when she was told at a scan there was no heartbeat.
