A member asked:
If the miscarriages isn't missed, how does it work? do the hormones make the body bleed and thus expel the foetus or does the baby die first?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be both/either: Miscarriages can occur due to a lack of hormonal continued support(progesterone) or a genetic defect in embryo differentiation that signals that the pregnancy is not viable which initiates the bleeding/rejection fetal process known as a miscarriage.
