Well then, I guess your mother did not know.
So its a bummer.
I wonder if (non-medicated/medically prevented) miscarriages are the same % as now v. then?
I believe miscarriages are a fact of life and having the expectation that you will never lose an unborn baby is being misguided. It has been determined many times that a miscarriage is because of an anomaly in the health of the woman or the developing baby... sometimes it's best to let nature take it's course.
My mother had three other children without the use of drugs (DES), which she more than likely took at the direction of a doctor following a single miscarriage.
I believe miscarriages are a fact of life .... OP
I agree .. just wondering if it is more or less prevalent today
I dunno.
No one raises their hand and says "I had a miscarriage"
How about this: https://www.tommys.org/our-organisation/charity-research/pregnancy-statistics/miscarriage
This one too: https://www.marchofdimes.org/complications/miscarriage.aspx
Looks like 12 weeks is an approximate time where it's all good or things self trminate.
