DOCTOR THIS IS MY FIFTH MISCARRIAGE IN FIVE YEARS OF MARRIAGE; WHO DID I OFFEND?: A SHOCKING REVELATION FROM INSIDE MY CONSULTING ROOM: Part 2
After the situation had calmed down,we continued our conversation because we had to get to the root of this matter before we could provide a solution to this perennial calamity that had plaqued this new, young family. From all she had said so far there was one thing that kept ringing in my mind and that was the issue of blood group incompatibility. I went ahead to ask her "what is your blood group?" "Doctor what does my blood group have to do with this problem?" She answerd me looking surprised.
I implored her to answer the question. She said O NEGATIVE. "my husband and I did it before we got married. My husband is O POSITIVE AND I am O NEGATIVE". Now the guess on my mind was becoming a reality.
"So madam have you ever done abortion before,may be before marriage?". She looked at me and was silent, put her right hand on her chin,removed it and retreated into her chair.
She breathed heavily again. After a while she said " In my 200 level, I did abortion 3 times for my boyfriend on campus. I was not ready for any pregnancy then but doctor does that have something to do with the present miscarriages I am having?" "Well may be madam" I answered. " Do you know the blood group of your campus boyfriend?" I asked. She answered with mixed feelings " doctor I dont know his blood group, we just dated for like two years,she was my only boyfriend before I met my husband."

DOCTOR THIS IS MY FIFTH MISCARRIAGE IN FIVE YEARS OF MARRIAGE; WHO DID I OFFEND?: A SHOCKING REVELATION FROM INSIDE MY CONSULTING ROOM: Part 1
I have the permission of Mrs Funke to share her painful life journey with you so that you can learn from her bitter experience.
I was inside my consulting room on the fateful day when a young married woman,25 years old, walked in,looking depressed. She sighed as she sat. The perplexity on her face said it all. There was a big burden being carried in her heart. I mustered the courage to ask "how may I help you madam?" then she answered in her frustration. "DOCTOR THIS IS MY FIFTH MISCARRIAGE IN FIVE YEARS OF MARRIAGE; WHO DID I OFFEND?"
Now it was like it was my turn to be frustrated because how could I know the person offended in this issue. Well I summoned courage to overcome the perplexity,I went further to be sure she actually had five miscarriages as she had said. "Madam Funke did you actually confirm these five pregnancies with pregnancy tests or scan to start with ?" She answerd yes affirmatively with tears in her eyes and her voice shaking vigorously. " Doctor I did with both pregnancy test and scan. I confirmed the pregnancy I was sure doctor. " " I understand your pains madam" I responded calming her down.
Then i asked her the next question " These five miscarriages you have had, can you tell me around what time you usually have them?" "Around 5 to 6 months doctor" she answered with tears rolling down her two cheeks. "Calm down madam I understand how you feel" I said offering her handkerchief to clean her eyes. With the emotional atmosphere inside my consulting room I had to pause the consultation to allow her calm down and express her pains in tears. "Who would blame a woman who was lucky to get married to a supportive and loving young man at age of 20 all for her to face this kind of hurdle with five miscarriages in five years?" I said within me. The agony could only be imagined.
