Miscarriage is a topic that is not often discussed, leading to feelings of isolation among couples who experience a miscarriage.
Couples often feel that they have no one to turn to, or that no one understands what they are going through. But miscarriage is not as uncommon as you might think.
How common is miscarriage?
According to an article in the Huffington Post, there are more than a million miscarriages in the US each year, accounting for 15 to 20 percent of known pregnancies.
And although over 60 percent of miscarriages are a result of chromosomal abnormalities, women often feel feeling of guilt or shame, making the recovery period more difficult.
