My DIL had two miscarriages, and yes, it is very common ( also very sad.)

I miscarried and was told the same thing so it properly did happen as frequently

Both DiLs have had miscarriages in the last three months. Both trying for a first baby, one aged 32, one 37. Both miscarriages were within first 6/7 weeks and the nurse told one that it happened to 1 in 3! Do not remember so many miscarriages in 'our' day. Is it because they know so early now with pregnancy kits. In the olden days of yore you had to wait till you'd missed two periods, then take a sample to the doctor who sent it off somewhere for days, then you eventually found out! Maybe some of us were having miscarriages then without realising it.
