Abstract

According to the American Pregnancy Association, the chances of having a miscarriage for women in their childbearing years is 15 – 20 percent and women who are 35 – 45 have a 20 – 35 percent chance of miscarriage. Before I had a miscarriage I assumed it was rare for a woman to miscarry. We hear a lot about family planning. From my view, it seemed that couples just decided when they wanted to have a child, and they got pregnant soon after.
