EASTENDERS star Lacey Turner says she would never have become a mum had she not turned to private medicine to find out why she suffered two miscarriages.<\/p>\n

Women can get NHS tests only after losing three babies in a row.<\/p>\n

But Lacey could not contemplate another pregnancy without first getting answers.<\/p>\n

That is why she is today backing the Miscarriage Of Justice Campaign we launched this month with baby charity Tommy\u2019s.<\/p>\n

It calls for improved care for women after EVERY miscarriage. And you can help by signing the Tommy\u2019s petition, right.<\/p>\n

Lacey, 33 \u2014 Stacey Slater in Albert Square \u2014 said: \u201cIf I\u2019d not gone private I\u2019d probably still have no babies.\u201d<\/p>\n

A specialist pinpointed her problem and Lacey has since given birth to daughter Dusty, two, and six-month-old son Trilby with husband Matt Kay, a barber shop owner.<\/p>\n

Lacey, who returned to work the day after her first miscarriage, added: \u201cThere wasn\u2019t really any aftercare.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was told that I\u2019d had a miscarriage and that was it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really felt quite overwhelmed and lost during our miscarriages. We found ourselves confused.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had no explanation, just a sudden feeling of the excitement of having a baby to feeling completely empty and lost. To go through that once is hard enough. Earlier doctors\u2019 advice and support would have helped.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were lucky enough to go to a private specialist. Everyone should have that opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great that the subject of miscarriage is becoming less of a taboo subject. There are great charities which can help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tommy\u2019s, the largest charity in the nation carrying out research into the causes of miscarriage, would like the NHS to prescribe progesterone as standard.<\/p>\n

MORE than 20 organisations involved in \u00admaternal health, including the Royal College of Midwives and the Royal College of \u00adObstetricians and Gynaecologists, have signed a letter from Tommy\u2019s to Health \u00adSecretary Sajid Javid calling for changes to miscarriage care in the UK.<\/p>\n

Tommy\u2019s petition currently stands at 222,547 signatures \u2013 but with YOUR help they can reach 250,000.<\/p>\n

When she went private, Lacey was given the hormone, which can help the body hold on to a pregnancy.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cThe NHS is incredible but it needs more funding in this department.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lacey has asked for a donation to be made to Tommy\u2019s in return for this interview.<\/p>\n
