Miscarriage, or spontaneous abortion, is the loss of a pregnancy before the fourth month. Cramping of the uterus. Passage of blood clots or tissue from the vagina.
Miscarriage is far more common than most women realize.
About 15 out of 100 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Most of those miscarriages occur in the first three months of pregnancy. Most of the time we cannot find a cause. Over half of all miscarriages happen because the baby is not normal. We do know that miscarriage is NOT something which the mother has caused to happen.
