Conceiving After a Miscarriage

The thought of getting pregnant after miscarriage can be quite daunting, as many women are afraid of a second miscarriage. A miscarriage (called a spontaneous abortion by physicians) is the unintentional loss of pregnancy prior to twenty weeks of gestation. Statistics from the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, miscarriages will happen in around 25 percent of all known pregnancies. This rate will most likely be higher in actuality because miscarriages can happen before a woman is even aware she is pregnant.
