Miscarriage

When a woman is pregnant, a tiny baby is growing inside her tummy. Sometimes, unfortunately, the baby stops growing and the pregnant woman's body can no longer carry it. This is called a miscarriage. It can happen for many different reasons, but it is usually not anyone's fault. The mom might feel sad and cry a lot because losing a baby feels really sad. She might go to the doctor to make sure that she is healthy and can try to have a baby again in the future. Remember, it is okay to feel sad and it is not the mom or anyone's fault that the baby did not grow.
