“Miscarriage”, the misnamed

Miscarriage the misnamed

What if we stopped using the term “miscarriage”? In everyday language, in France, “early miscarriage” means the spontaneous termination of a pregnancy in the first trimester. There is nothing false in this event which affects 15 to 20% of pregnancies according to estimates. However, “miscarriage” is still trivialized, passed over in silence.
