i know there is no answer to this question i just thought it needed to be talked about it happens to so many of us but we never talk about it. i myself suffered a late miscarriage at 22 weeks of pregnancy at at the time found it hard to talk about i just couldnt understand why it had happened to me i later went on to have a daughter but when trying for another baby i suffered what they call a missed abortion where at the 12 week scan it was revealed the baby was dead, i later went on to have my boy, but this leads me to ask why so many women have to suffer with the loss of a baby

I'm not sure why women suffer so many miscarriages. I have heard before that sometimes your body knows when there is something wrong with the fetus and it aborts it naturally. I have no idea if this is true or not. My daughter has had 2 miscarriages as well as when she was carrying twins she lost one of them. She also has had three live births. I know it is a very sad thing when this happens,it is hard to understand.

I am so sorry to hear about the miscarriages.I wish I could tell you why , but I can't.I am so glad that you tried again and had your children. It seems like with some pregnancies are just not meant to be. And with some women, they can never carry a child to term.It must be hell to want to have a baby and can't.What is needed is more research into women's health .

Well, see, for my aunt it was 2 out of 3 were miscarriages, but I know that some women have told me that one time out of how many times that they would get pregnant, or be pregnant, it was at least one out of three. My mom's friend, had three out of six miscarriages, which went like this, the first one was fine, the second one she miscarried, the third one was fine again, the forth one she miscarried, the five one was fine, and the last one she miscarried. See the pattern. At this group called Compassionate Friends, I had met another woman their who went through the same thing. The first child was fine, but the two she had after that she lost. Maybe three is just a bad number for some people.

I don't know, but it's always so sad. I know someone who's had 4 or 5 miscarriages. She finally had a child, but only after a long series of tests to find out why she couldn't carry to term and found out that she's got a slight case of MS. I also know someone who has 2 kids, before each of those pregnancies she had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. The doctor suggested in her case that her body needed that 6 weeks period and miscarriage to prepare for a full term pregnancy.
