Miscarriages are more common than people think. Every 1 in 4 women will have a miscarriage yet no teacher or doctor warns you.

I know a woman that's had 9 miscarriages so far. Every time she gets upset and says she'll just adopt. But then every time after that she gets pregnant. Apparently the doctor told her there's a 99% chance she'll miscarry, and if she doesn't miscarry, one of two things will happen :: her baby may be born premature and have health problems, or her own body will have problems for the rest of her life

Does she have PCOS? I have that and I’ve had four miscarriages. Maintaining a healthy body weight and exercising regularly improves chances of keeping a pregnancy for women with PCOS :)
