One third of women in New Zealand are estimated to have experienced at least one miscarriage and the chance of losing a baby increases with age.
But a charity supporting those who miscarry says these natural, but for many devastating events, are not getting recorded in a way that would provide national data.
There are 20 Maternal Clinical Indicators that record details such as a birth is by cesarean section.
But Miscarriage Matters says the lack of national records over miscarriage means it isn't possible to spot patterns or gain understanding of possible causes.
