The Government has been criticised for failing to set out a concrete strategy to tackle disparities in maternity care.
Dozens of experts have noted black women are 40% more likely to experience a miscarriage than white women.
And women who live in deprived areas are more likely to suffer a stillbirth than their richer counterparts.
Clea Harmer, CEO of stillbirth and neonatal charity Sands, told the Mirror the Government should have taken a mixed approach of gathering more research via the taskforce and helping ethnic mums now.
"The risk of whether your baby will die or not at the moment depends on who you are, where you live, what your background is, which is just not acceptable.
"Your postcode should not have anything to do with whether your baby dies or not."
It comes as Minister for Women’s health Maria Caulfield confirmed the launch of the Maternity Disparities Taskforce which is expected to examine why ethnic minority women, poorer women and their babies have worse health outcomes.
Ms Caulfield said: “For too long disparities have persisted which mean women living in deprived areas or from ethnic monitory backgrounds are less likely to get the care they need, and worse, lose their child.
“We must do better to understand and address the causes of this.
“The Maternity Disparities Taskforce will help level up maternity care across the country, bringing together a wide range of experts to deliver real and ambitious change so we can improve care for all women, and I will be monitoring progress closely.”
Labour have questioned why the Government has not issued "urgent and meaningful action".
In the Commons, Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities Taiwo Owatemi said: "We have a vision document and our task force to increase the understanding of the problem, but no concrete steps to solve [disparities].
"The Conservatives have promised as promised us the conservatives have had 12 years Mr. Speaker, when are they going to act?"
Feryal Clark, Shadow Health Minister added: "It is shocking that black women are less likely to receive the care they need when pregnant and, tragically, more likely to lose their child.
"After 12 years of Tory mismanagement of our NHS, inequalities are widening and maternity care is getting worse.
"Labour will introduce a new Race Equality Act to tackle the structural inequalities which have long existed in our society."
The NHS set out a national ambition to halve the rates of stillbirths, neonatal deaths, maternal death and brain injuries by 2025, with a 20% reduction by 2020.
The Tories published a vision for women's health last December, which set out their plan to improve the health of all women and girls.
But the steps on how they set out to tackle the disparity in maternity care is yet to be published, with a rough deadline of Spring 2022 given.
