The number of miscarriages being high may be because there is a significant
number of spontaneous abortions, usually before the woman knows she is
pregnant.  Whether this is included in the miscarriage rate may have
a significant affect.  I don't remember the numbers, but a large number
of fertilized eggs don't become babies.
