Question

Is it that often women have miscarriages. All my friends say they know someone who has.?

Answer 1

What Linny_2009 said is almost exactly what my doctor said to me when I had mine.  

I also had 2 successful pregnancies after the miscarriage.

Edit:  Also, many females don't share that they have had a miscarriage before because they feel like a failure.  So it will seem that miscarriages are more rare then they really are.

Answer 2

My aunt has and she never forgot it (of course) and she's a happy person but sometimes she just gets sad all of a sudden and it's because she remembers =(((

   But that's the only woman I know of, thank goodness

Answer 3

Yeah. Some women have it more often tho.

Answer 4

im 16 and miscarried twins and my mum had 1 last year. it is very upsetting but life goes on. you just got to remember that they are angels

Answer 5

Maybe they all know the same girl.

Jk. I think miscarriages are pretty common.

Answer 6

yea

Answer 7

Seems like a lot of them do. I have three sisters. Two of them had them. One had one and the other had a lot of them.

Answer 8

I think that it happens for various reasons and i think yeh everyone knows someone who has had one but then i bet your friends would all know someone who had an abortion aswell. And i also bet they would know alot of people who had healthy babies which they love as well.

Answer 9

Yes it is when you are pregnant many complications can arise. I know before my mother had me she had a miscarriage. I cannot image how traumatic that would be for a mother my cousins wife had one and it was so sad just watching her. She really was depressed for a long time and blamed herself it was awful.

Answer 10

I think it is! My mom had one

Answer 11

about 30% have them especially on their first child and it gets worst as you get older or if you are really young like teen

That is 3 out of every ten women

sit somewhere in public and just watch women go by count to  7 then the next three you see probbally had one or will have one

Answer 12

I believe that about 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage but the good thing is a woman may have one or two miscarriages and then they can have a normal full term pregnancy. Miscarriage does not mean you won't be able to have kids.

Answer 13

My mother was pregnant 8 times.  so I have 5 siblings, and 2 angels looking out for me  :)
