Approximately 10 to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, reports Mayo Clinic. However, the actual number is likely much higher since many miscarriages occur very early in pregnancy. Often as early as when you may not even know you’re pregnant yet.
And while we often hear that miscarriages are common and normal in our society, many still don’t have a clue about how emotional, draining and life-changing the loss of a baby can be. No wonder many parents turn to grief in silence.
One brave woman named Kristen R. More broke this silence and shared her own heartbreaking experience of losing a baby. “Today, I paid over $1000 out of pocket for my miscarriage,” she wrote on Twitter and added: “They didn’t tell me it would cost so much to lose a baby.”
But that was just the tip of the iceberg and Kristen shared all the “other things they don’t tell you about miscarriages” in a very important and eye-opening thread.
