I don't think most people recognize just how common miscarriage is. This occurs in nature, and if we're going to hold doctors legally liable for non-induced miscarriage, I don't see how anyone could practice medicine on a pregnant woman.

For definition purposes, an "early miscarriage" is one that happens in the first trimester...

How common is miscarriage?
It depends when it happens. Sadly, early miscarriages are very common. Often, a woman miscarries before she even realises she's pregnant. Perhaps as many as three-quarters of all fertilised eggs are lost in the very earliest days of pregnancy. After a positive pregnancy test, there's about a one in five chance of having an early miscarriage. This is when most miscarriages happen.
Late miscarriage is much less common. It happens in about one in 100 pregnancies
