A taskforce wants improvements for women belonging to ethnic minorities and those living in deprived areas.
Miscarriage Association trustee Natasha Necati, from Essex, who has had eight miscarriages, says there was no "blatant racism" in her care - but there were times she was not listened to.
"I haven't always felt I have been taken seriously," she says. "I have, in some cases, complained about serious amounts of pain during miscarriages and it was kind of pooh-poohed.""Surely if it was deemed important, tens of thousands of pounds would be being spent on getting answers," she says.
"As a nurse, I know how incredibly challenging the last two years have been and would like to thank all our dedicated maternity staff for their hard work and commitment throughout the pandemic." Chief midwifery officer Prof Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent, who will co-chair the taskforce, said: "The NHS's ambition is to be the safest place in the world to be pregnant, give birth and transition into parenthood - all women who use our maternity services should receive the best care possible.
