This article talks about a subject that definitely needs more attention...coping with the loss of a baby. This is something that unfortunately happens to some women in their quest to have a baby, and it can happen at various stages of pregnancy or even in early infancy.

It seems these younger women are afraid of wasting time and are looking to hurry things along.
