Miscarriage is where a pregnancy ends early resulting in loss of the baby.
It can be for a very long list of reasons ranging from the mother having a condition which makes her more susceptible to miscarrying all the way through to outside influences like the mentioned malpractice or bad luck through traumas like accidents.
A miscarriage can be fatal to the mother if it is not observed due to possible complications like blood loss etc… But this is not always the case.
My friend has miscarried twice and both times were in the very early stages of pregnancy so it was the equivalent of a heavy period.
The true trauma was dealing with the psychological impact.
