"When Niamh Murphy and husband James lost their baby boy Odhrán at 22 weeks gestation, they were shocked to learn that they could not register his death, that his loss was deemed a miscarriage."
"They decided to fight for the right to register his death, so there would be a record of their second child"
""I found out I was pregnant on the first of February last year," Niamh says."
Niamh Murphy and her husband James lost their baby boy Odhrán at 22 weeks gestation. They could not register his death because his loss was officially deemed a miscarriage, and they were shocked by the absence of an official record for their son. They decided to fight for the right to register his death to ensure a formal record and recognition of their second child. The couple had started trying for a second child late last year, around November, and Niamh found out she was pregnant on the first of February. The lack of registration prompted their campaign for change.
