In this episode, my friend Brittany shares her story with us about her 3 miscarriages. In the second-half of the episode, I answer some of your common questions about miscarriages and loss. 

Here are the questions I go over:

  1. How common is miscarriage?
  2. What are the signs/symptoms of miscarriage?
  3. How does age increase the risk of miscarriage?
  4. What exactly happens when you have a miscarriage?
  5. What are some of the treatment options?
  6. What may I see? What do I do if I am managing it at home?
  7. How soon can I conceive again?
