TRIGGER WARNING: This post contains information about infant loss, which may be triggering to some.
Pregnancy is such an important time in life. It can make you feel strong and powerful, but being pregnant can also make you feel vulnerable and delicate. A most painful, and sometimes lonely, time is when there is a loss of pregnancy. Also known as a miscarriage, it’s what happens when there is a loss of a fetus before 20 weeks of pregnancy.
We spoke with Dr. Daniel Stein, Medical Director with WINFertility and RMA of New York’s Westside Manhattan office. Board-certified in both Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, he helped us understand valuable details about miscarriages. According to Stein, more than 80% of miscarriages happen within the first three months of pregnancy, and are less likely to happen after 20 weeks.
