I tend to agree, however whenever I have discussed this with doctors they 
disagree on the basis that they don't want to scare women needlessly.
I however feel that we are grown ups and can handle the truth, and that if 
people were more aware it would help alleviate the "shock" factor not to 
mention aiding in lifting the unspoken taboo of talking about our babies, 
especially those who pass away.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
