There’s a club that no one asks to be part of—and yet so many find themselves in it: the experience of early pregnancy loss. It’s quiet, often invisible, and deeply personal. And while it affects nearly 1 in 4 pregnancies, it’s still wrapped in silence, stigma, and isolation.
At Natural Harmony, we believe in holding space for every part of the fertility journey—including the parts that break your heart.
It’s More Common Than You Think—And It’s Not Your Fault
The majority of early miscarriages—especially those that happen in the first trimester—are caused by chromosomal abnormalities. This means the embryo didn’t develop with the correct number of chromosomes, and the body recognized it couldn’t continue growing in a healthy way. It’s nature’s heartbreaking but intelligent way of preventing a pregnancy that wasn’t viable.
These chromosomal issues usually occur randomly and have nothing to do with anything you did or didn’t do. They’re often the result of a spontaneous error when the egg and sperm first meet, and they can happen even when everything else is perfectly “normal.”
Things like exercise, stress, sex, or something you ate are not to blame, though we know it’s incredibly common to search for a reason.
But even knowing that doesn’t take away the pain, confusion, or grief.
What we want you to hear loud and clear is this:
You are not broken.
This loss doesn’t define your future fertility.
