Miscarriage

Suffering a miscarriage is one of the most devastating things that can happen to a woman, and to her partner.

Many women conceive easily and are not emotionally or physically prepared for the shock of losing a baby.

To make it worse, there are often complaints that the medical profession lack sympathy, and investigations into the cause are normally not even considered until you have suffered three miscarriages.

It may seem a callous approach, but the reason for this response is simply that miscarriage is extremely common.

In fact, one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, usually before the twelfth week of pregnancy.
