October 15th is pregnancy and infant loss Remembrance Day.

I once had my haircut by a barber who used to be a nurse. One day during her pregnancy, the hospital administration made her go in to calm a psychiatric patient who was having some kind of an aggressive breakdown. Kicked her in the abdomen, she lost the fetus. Don't think I'll ever forget that.

It is an epidemiological fact that over 50% of "chemical" pregnancies never make it to term.

By chemical I mean that woman would do pregnancy tests every day or week and 50% of the times a test was positive, there was no child born. In most cases, the woman had no ideas that she was even pregnant, had it not been for the pregnancy tests.

Yep! My mother told of two miscarriages. That as well as two other actually child deaths effected her greatly throughout her life.

To go through one is bad enough. Especially when all where wanted. There was no chemicals involved in the late 1930s.

Yes it happens.
It happens more than we think.
There should d a day of remembrance.
A day of mourning.
A day of reckoning.

I had a miscarriage and then I was lucky enough to have my rainbow baby.
