Question 493 — women

Summary

Mrs. Michèle Peyron draws the attention of the Minister of Health and Prevention to the management of the natural termination of a pregnancy, or more commonly called "miscarriage" and the support of women and future co-parents, facing this particularly painful and traumatic ordeal. According to a study published in the medical journal “The Lancet”, it is estimated that one in four pregnancies leads to a “miscarriage”. » and one in ten women are confronted with it at least once during their life. Indeed, according to the National College of French Gynecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF), there are 200,000 “miscarriages” for around 700,000 births per year in France. Therefore, their management appears to be a major public health issue. However, this ordeal still seems to be a taboo for society. Numerous testimonies from women report care that would be faulty and traumatic (auscultation next to the birth rooms, waiting of several weeks between the end of the pregnancy and the curettage, lack of explanations from certain doctors, etc.) Certain care pathways experienced also seem to be similar to gynecological violence as shown in the report of the High Council for Equality between Women and Men (HCE) in 2018. Finally, if doctors generally prescribe work leave to women, it is possible to note strong disparities in this prescription which moreover does not concern co-parents. Also, sharing the dismay of many women and future co-parents, she would like to know if the Government has initiated avenues of reflection on improving medical care on a physical level and psychological of women experiencing a natural termination of their pregnancy and whether the creation of a real specific care pathway seems possible, particularly with a view to devoting more resources to the training of nursing staff. Furthermore, she would like to know the avenues envisaged by the Government to improve information around “miscarriages” in society. And finally, in light of the example of the New Zealand, which in March 2021 implemented a three-day leave for women and men going through this ordeal, it would like to know if the Government could support the proposal to establish a leave of the same nature in France.
