Hartlepool MP Jill Mortimer was close to tears at a debate as she spoke of her experience.

Jill Mortimer told of how she lost her first baby in the very early weeks of pregnancy

She said maternity staff were exhausted after the pandemic, with a "vicious cycle" of them leaving the profession. Ms Mortimer said: "Sadly, experiences 25 years on from mine have not got any better, baby loss still happens all too often. Another Conservative MP, Guy Opperman, who represents Hexham, told MPs about the experience of losing his new-born twins.He added: "We all have to accept that mistakes are made and that giving birth is a fragile process, but we should expect the NHS and our government to promote consistency of approach in dealing with the individual issues that mums and dads have."
