It is always devastating when a woman experiences a miscarriage. It can cause a woman to feel alone & isolated. Reaction is very variable & there's no 'right' way to feel - a range of reactions are possible & normal. In addition to the grief you may feel, your body will be undergoing some profound hormonal adjustments, which may make you feel very emotionally volatile. If you have had a miscarriage, take the time to understand better why these occur & why it is not your fault.

In what is believed the clearest and strongest evidence yet linking caffeine to miscarriage, California researchers who followed more than 1,000 pregnant women found those who consumed 200 mg or more of caffeine daily -- the equivalent of two cups of regular coffee, or five, 12-ounce cans of caffeinated pop -- had twice the risk of miscarriage as women who avoided caffeine. Even women who consumed less that 200 mg of caffeine a day had a 42% increased risk of losing the pregnancy. "We ... Read Full Story

Photo by Andy Martin Valerie and John Quinones, a Brooklyn couple in their mid-30s, were more than ready for a baby. 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. He suggested that as soon as she conceived again she should begin daily injections with a blood-thinning drug and continue that throughout the pregnancy. ... Read Full Story

This famous restaurateur—co-owner of L.A.'s 8 Oz. Burger bar—was arrested last month for allegedly killing his lover's fetus. (Death? check.) How did he do it?
