NEWS: When Miscarriages Are Not Normal

This one came via my friend Kristel, from CNN.com. This story is about a woman who had four miscarriages by the time she was only 26. She lost four pregnancies and one was a set of twins in three years. The real issue is her OB didn't want to test her for any problems because she had one live, full-term, birth in the midst of all her miscarriages.

I did not know this but apparently, according to this article, an OB generally will not check for any genetic problems with the mom or dad unless the mom has had three miscarriages in a row without any live births.

This woman was found to have a genetic mutation that some believe can cause miscarriages. She was prescribed aspirin and her last baby was born full-term and healthy.
