Spontaneous miscarriages occur frequently during the first trimester of pregnancy, especially in first pregnancies.

The most important word in that sentence is "if". There is nothing in your statement that would show me that he's at fault. Miscarriages occur for many reasons and most of the time it's no one's "fault."

If you can prove it. you must start with complete medical chart. It must be reviewed by a doctor who must say there is malpractice and that he will testify for you at trial. Hard row to hoe

If he is at fault, maybe. But miscarriages happen for a variety of reasons. Just because he was involved doesn't mean it was his fault.

How can you prove that your doctor was negligent? How can you prove that the product of conception was going to survive? I think you would have a very difficult case to win and it would probably cost tens of thousands of dollars to pursue it.
