MPs are calling for the Employment Rights Bill to extend bereavement leave to all pregnancy loss.

Currently only those who lose a child or a baby after 24 weeks are entitled to two weeks of paid leave.

MP Anna Malnutt said she went back to work three days after her first miscarriage.

After two further pregnancy losses, Anna said she "became a shadow of herself" and struggled with stress at work.
