Miscarriages are natural, so why are they often cloaked in secrecy?
When I first heard the term miscarriage as a little girl, I thought it was the saddest thing. At eight years old, my understanding of the term was that a woman would never get the opportunity to push a carriage. She missed her turn. This grasp of miscarriage stuck with me for a very long time, partly because nobody told me anything different. It was a topic that was never really talked about at home or even in school.
I wish as a young girl that someone had explained to me how normal it was have a miscarriage. It turns out that our bodies were built to miscarry. In most cases, it is a normal and healthy mechanism in place in the female body to prevent what wasn’t destined to be. Miscarriage was nothing I needed to be afraid of or worry about. Yet the truth is that I did worry about it for a very long time.
