miscarriages

[renee]

are they hereditary

[Ewood27]

To answer the question you asked, no - or you would never have children and the line would die out! In the same way, celibacy is not hereditary.

I imagine you meant "Is the tendency to miscarry hereditary?" That I don't know. It needs someone with some knowledge of gynaecology.

It is possible that a medical condition which causes miscarriages can be hereditary, but no, miscarriages per se are not heriditary.

I would say from a doctors point no, but a personal point i know a lot of people who have miscarriages and there parents did and sisters too,so many it could run in families.
