Hi everyone
SANDS are currently running a petition to get NZ statistics to change the question about live births on the census forms.
Fertility and giving birth aren't nessecarily the same thing. Ask woman how many pregnancies, how many live births. Considering many magazines suggest that 1 in 4 women miscarry it is a common enough circumstance that warrants measurement.

Please click on the link to find out more information and if it is something you feel like should be changed then sign the petition.
AFM: I have had two confirmed miscarriages and I suspect many more non-confirmed. I would like to count those.
Best wishes

I signed this as soon as I saw it on SANDS FB page. Still need more signatures though. I've suffered 3 MC's.
