The German parliament has enacted legislation to enhance maternity protection for women experiencing miscarriages after 13 weeks. This law, passed by the Bundestag, allows for maternity leave, reflecting a significant support measure for women's emotional and physical recovery during this difficult time. Previously, women had to navigate a complex process to secure medical leave following a miscarriage. By allowing maternity leave under the new law, the government aims to offer reassurance and assistance for approximately 6,000 women annually who suffer miscarriages after the 13th week, pending approval from the Bundesrat on February 14.
The German Bundestag has passed a law extending maternity leave protection to women who suffer a miscarriage after the 13th week of pregnancy, aiming to support their recovery.
Under the new regulation, women who miscarry after 13 weeks can opt for maternity leave, eliminating uncertainty about medical leave application and approval for those affected.
