Miscarriage is a terrible word

Heidi
I think miscarriage is the worst word ever. Do you agree? It makes me angry, actually. It starts with a negative three letters. And no wonder we blame ourselves sometimes... We should come up with a new word. You didn't carry it wrong! You weren't misinformed! You didn't miscalculate what you should do while pregnant. Surely it is a term devised by old crotchety male doctors in a different century. What else can we call it? Unexplainable evacuation? Alien ejection? Peanut Flop? Sparkle Zapper? Bean Elimator? I don't know, just trying to help all of you and myself! Saying "pregnancy loss" just makes me sad. And I'm tired of crying and feeling guilty.
