Angie, thanks so much for your reply. In my case, my miscarriages
weren't normal.
My body doesn't get rid of the baby. 2 out of my 3 miscarriages were
blighted ovums (i have a womb but no baby inside) and with the other
miscarriage, the baby stopped growing at 2 months, but my body wouldn't
expel it. So I had D & C's for all 3. I wish there were more research
done on why the baby never formed in the 2 miscarriages. Why do we have
blighted ovums, and I want to find out what I'm missing to cause it.
Thanks again.
