Top Expert on this page
I have experienced an early miscarriage (11wks) myself and can offer support & answer most questions about this subject. Please note that I am NOT in the medical profession but have first hand experience as well as studying the different types of miscarriage. If I can't help you then I'll always try and point you in the right direction. *Please Note* I do not answer questions on anything else other than miscarriage. Please be aware of this & sensitive to other questioners when asking your question.
First hand experience of miscarriage. I had a very nasty miscarriage. I felt like I was VERY misinformed & the information I needed was just not available to make the right choices, so I immersed myself in books and websites to find out what it was about and why it happened. I'd like to pass this on to other women (& men!) who have had the same experience. I'm here for any questions or just support for men & women.
