Abstract

Pregnancy loss affects approximately one in four pregnancies. The workplace is an important context to consider in pregnancy loss experiences as most women of reproductive age are in paid employment. Currently in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) there are no statutory leave entitlements if a pregnancy ends <24 weeks. Given the lack of research in this area internationally, we aimed to explore workplace experiences of early pregnancy loss.
