Brief Answer:
At your age, you would likely get another pregnancy!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this miscarriage. I t must be a difficult thing to deal with. However, it is more common than people really talk about. The good news is that any early miscarriage is often a result of abnormalities that would not have benefitted the baby is he/she survived and that is natural selection. The second good piece is that, pregnancy is a game of chance and at your age, there are several other chances that you would take advantage of.

Though no one wants to be dealing with this, we should be able to loo at the positive in an unfortunate event and stay positive. Talk to your family, your loved ones, your friends and if your are a believer, to your pastor or priest. They would be helpful. It is normal to grief after such a loss but do not let it hold you back. Accept the pain, feel the pain and get over it. Beyond this, life carries on and you have many other opportunities to correct the unfortunate event that occurred.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
