Is miscarriage normal?

Having a miscarriage is a something that is very common and happens more often than women give it credit. It is easy to pass a miscarriage as something that happens to other people but in reality it can happen to any couple. Pregnancy can be so very exciting, especially when it is something that hasn’t come easily. This quote I’m going to share is interesting in the fact that it shows to commonality of miscarriages:

“Studies reveal that anywhere from 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Chemical pregnancies may account for 50-75% of all miscarriages. This occurs when a pregnancy is lost shortly after implantation, resulting in bleeding that occurs around the time of her expected period. The woman may not realize that she conceived when she experiences a chemical pregnancy.” (http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/miscarriage.html)

Obviously not every pregnancy will end in a miscarriage but it is important to realize that they do happen to be prepared in the event that it does happen.
