The women sharing their miscarriage stories

More than one in five pregnancies end in miscarriage, according to British charity the Miscarriage Association, but many people find them painful to talk about. BBC Trending reports on how a mother from Houston, Texas set up a Facebook page - 'Mothers of Unborn Angels' after her fourth miscarriage. Now, thousands around the world are turning to the page as an online support network.

The Miscarriage Association's helpline on 01924 200 799 can provide support after a miscarriage in the UK. Support following still birth and neonatal death is available in the UK on Sands' helpline at 0207 436 5881.
