30% or so of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. Not a lot of people know and even less talk about it. Some women still won't tell their husbands about being pregnant until 3 months in to make sure they don't miscarry first.

Edit: do you people not like dark truths?

No idea. It's just a fact and it's pretty dark. I wonder about some of the users here sometimes.

Maybe a couple guys don't think miscarriages are dark enough?

My mother told me for a while it was just used by doctors to explain away deaths that were not really explainable, be they smotherings from the mother, or the baby rolling over in its sleep. This was more prevalent in the 70's to 90's. Everyone kind of knew, but just assumed the doctor knew best as to the 'cause'.

There are also medical reasons, such as the development of the trachea coinciding with the time period in which SIDS is most prevalent. It is also associated with parents who smoke indoors and who smoked during pregnancy.

Mother Nature is the largest aborter of babies.
