writes:I've recently had a miscarriage and my doctor said that the next time I'm pregnant she will put me on medication so I don't lose the baby.I know that most miscarriages happen because the fetus isn't developing properly. So my question is - if I take the meds to keep the baby and was supposed to have a miscarriage, wouldn't that mean that the baby would be born with problems? Doesn't that make sense, or am I wrong?I didn't think about that until after I was out of the office, so I didn't ask my doctor. Does anyone know the answer? I'm afraid to take the meds next time, but I'm assuming she knows what she's talking about... ? Reply to this Question

 There are many reasons for miscarriages one of them being low level of progesterone that keeps the lining of the the uterus in place and stops menstrual cycles. It has nothing to do with fetal development. Your doctor can answer all your questions so never be afraid to ask. Good luck.
