The 11-year study investigated the effect of body mass index (BMI) on unexplained recurrent miscarriages. The women had their BMI measured and were placed into one of four categories: underweight; normal; overweight; and obese. Read more... Life Begins... - Miscarriage stories of ...

When couples with fertility problems turn to IVF , they often assume that they can double their chances for a healthy baby by transferring two embryos to the womb instead of just one. But new data published in Thursday’s edition of the New England Journal of Medicine shows that what they’re really doing is increasing their odds of having twins – an outcome that is riskier for the mother and babies alike.
