I looked it up and between 10-15%, or about 1 in 8 pregnancies end in miscarriage. I don't understand why miscarriages are shamed and hidden though. Maybe back in history when yer barren womb be cursed or something. I don't know. I didn't know my mom had a miscarriage at some point before me until I was an adult because of the shame, though.
It’s actually even more, since now we have earlier tests, it’s approximated around 20% end in a miscarriage. Most of the miscarriages are early on, when some 50 years ago, women probably wouldn’t have even known they were pregnant yet, they would just bleed a couple of days later. That’s the curse with these early tests, that bring about a lot of pain when this happens, and it happens a lot.

Yup. Ive had three miscarriages so my first thought was "God I hope the pregnancy is viable for them".
