Most Americans Believe Miscarriage Myths
by Guest Sat May 09, 2015 10:14 am
Miscarriages are common, but the majority of Americans still think they occur rarely, a new survey finds.
The nationwide online survey found that 55 percent of peoplein the United States believe that miscarriage happens in 5 percent or less of all pregnancies. But in reality, miscarriages end 15 to 20 percent of reported pregnancies, according to the researchers.
Miscarriage myths affect more than just people in the United States; they are a universal problem, said the study's senior author, Dr. Zev Williams, the director of the Program for Early and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Health System in New York City.
