One of the worst things about human life is that every 18 months you have to call Sky and pretend that you're going to leave them until they find a magical offer which halves your bill which apparently didn't exist when you first rang

Perpetuating the idea that you can prevent miscarriage by avoiding specific circumstances (like stress) adds to the myth that it is preventable, when in the vast majority of cases it is not. Very few things cause miscarriage and stress is not one of them.
