A misscarriage is when you are pregnant(any stage) and the feotus dies, and your body gets rid of it so it doesnt stay inside you and make you sick. Some times a Dr. will have to do a DNC to clean out your uterus when your body doesnt expell the dead feotus on its own!! well, that is what it is!!
God bless!

I have had two miscarriage's. Miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before 24 weeks, with most miscarriages actually occurring during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Unfortunately, miscarriage is very common, affecting one in eight pregnancies. What causes a miscarriage?
There is seldom an adequate explanation for why a woman experiences a miscarriage. Studies inform us that approximately 50 per cent of lost pregnancies have failed to develop normally, either due to chromosome or genetic problems or because of structural (bodily) problems. There is no apparent explanation for the remaining 50 per cent of cases. Certain maternal illnesses are associated with an increased risk of miscarriage, although these are very uncommon.
Smoking increases the risk of miscarriage.
There is a gradual increase in the risk of miscarriage as the woman gets older.
It is important to remember that an ordinary lifestyle that includes exercise, going to work, minor falls or taking the Pill before pregnancy does not increase the risk of miscarriage.
The most common symptom is bleeding from the vagina. Lower abdominal pain is also very common.
What are the Symptom's of miscarriage?
Some women have no symptoms at all and the miscarriage is only diagnosed when they are given an ultrasound scan at their antenatal clinic. This is referred to as a 'silent miscarriage', and can be very distressing for the woman and her partner.
The web site be low helped me a great deal to understand why and other women's experiences.

A miscarriage is when a woman becomes pregnant by a man's sperm cell fertilizing her egg and the egg travels to her uterus where it is supposed to grow and develop into a baby but complications arise. For whatever reason the something goes wrong and the pregnancy is terminated and the egg along with all the the surrounding tissue is released through her vagina causing cramping and bleeding.

in ay given pregnancy 20-30% chance of loss before 12 weeks however the risk goes down to 5-10% after a heartbeat is seen on ultrasound drops again to 3% after 12 weeks. thought you wrote what are the chances? anyway a miscarriage is a pregnancy loss before 24 weeks after 24 weeks it's called still born neonatal death.

a miscarriage is something that happens to almost every woman whether they realize it is happeneing or not.. sometimes it feels like a very heavy period. I just recently had one in june and my its what it literally means. you mis- carried..the baby has passed and the doctor does a surgery or it will naturally come out...whether or not surgery or natural be sure to check with your doctor too make sure there is no infection
