To the Editor:Re “Your Miscarriage Doesn’t Have to Be a Secret” (Sunday Review, Oct. 13):I am glad to see so many women willing to break the silence on miscarriage. Understanding that women once regarded early pregnancy losses as a normal part of reproductive life gave me equanimity and perspective in my subsequent pregnancies with my two children. Lara FreidenfeldsChatham, N.J.To the Editor:Although it’s been nearly 30 years since my sixth, and last, miscarriage, this powerful article triggered still painful memories of each and every one of them. After my son’s birth, I lost a pregnancy at 18 weeks, long after I started wearing maternity clothes and being visibly pregnant. I suspected something wasn’t right after 15 weeks, when I seemed to be getting smaller instead of growing bigger.
