Understanding Miscarriage and Stillbirth: Conversation with Dr. Harvey Kliman, Part II
Published 2 months ago
Description
Miscarriage is very much a part of pregnancy. It's really common. Roughly 20% of implanted embryos are estimated to miscarry.
Unfortunately, stillbirth is also part of the process. The odds are 1 in 175.
But for most women who experience these outcomes, it feels like a shock, something you couldn't imagine would happen. In today's episode, I continue my conversation with Dr. Harvey Kliman, who explains why miscarriage and stillbirths happen and offers ways we can try to understand and mitigate the situation.
