I hadn’t yet lost a baby during or after pregnancy, nor was I aware of anyone who had. Everything changed in ... Read Full Story

Ms. Quinones had no trouble conceiving, but miscarried her first pregnancy at 6 weeks. Soon she was pregnant again, but this time no heartbeat was detected at 9 weeks. After those consecutive pregnancy losses, her doctor suggested a blood test that showed a rare clotting disorder that, the doctor said, might, or might not, be responsible for the problem.
