Well, yknow, that really bugs me that the storyline is that she's "weak". Believe it or not (and most doctors probably wouldn't talk about this but it has been studied), virgin brides who get pregnant soon after the first time have a higher risk of miscarriage b/c they are not accustomed to, er, their husbands. Aigu!
Do you know where and when that study was done? which country and also the ages of the females studied? Young teen aged girls who become pregnant have a higher rate of miscarriage than most other age groups, including more mature females. That is from a study done in the USA within the last 15 yrs [both New England Journal of Med & Harvard Med Sch] If there is a problem with the shape of the uterus, it can cause many complications including infertility. In very many m/c, there is something not right with the embryo/fetus and it is nature's own way of "survival of the fittest" and has absolutely nothing to do with the mother but rather has to do with something wrong with the DNA etc. Which is really not much comfort to a woman who has just had a m/c and especially when that baby has been anticipated with so much emotion. I think that emotions play as much a part in a healthy baby as the physical well-being of the mother. Just MPOV -

Exactly. The study/ies I was referring to about virgin/near virgins I don't know. It was told to me by a very competent midwife with a lot of experience with this scenario. You are correct, most miscarriages are from "blighted ovum. Also, poor hormone levels in a woman can contribute (sometimes, though, that's caused by not well formed embryo to begin with). And I think 1/3 of all women who have a regular partner have at least one miscarriage, although some are not aware (late heavy period for example). But they seemed to be doing gobs of ultrasounds on her, so you'd think they would see the growth rate and devlopment of the embryo/fetus (not sure how far along she was supposed to be).
Anyway, it's just fiction and who knows what the heck the writers of the drama actually know. I'm just saying the "odds" that she's "weak" are pretty unlikely b/c she's young, healthy and it was her first pregnancy very early on in the marriage, so it just seems prejudicial to me. Plus inactivity doesn't help 90% of the time it has nothing to do with a woman walking around (dare I say 99% of the time?) Yes, even in the U.S. doctors say to get bedrest but the actual research numbers show that doesn't really make much difference. (No, I don't remember the names of studies and things I read 8 years ago on the subject).

No, b/c actually I thought about it some more, and I don't think it's a virgin, per se, but the first couple of months with a new partner. The human body is very complicated! But that's a funny take on it! LOL
