Miscarriage: The Search for Answers

The experience of losing a pregnancy can be life-changing, yet there is still so much we don't know about why it happens. The BBC's Tulip Mazumdar goes on a search for answers.

It's estimated that around one in five pregnancies end in miscarriage. The experience of losing a pregnancy - both physically and psychologically - can be life-changing. Yet millions of women go through it each year, and there is still so much we don't know about why it happens. Most countries don't even keep data on the number of miscarriages.

After suffering several pregnancy losses herself, BBC global health correspondent Tulip Mazumdar goes on a search for answers, and looks at how care for this extremely common but little talked-about experience could be improved around the world.
