In short terms, it's when a woman loses a baby during pregnancy, which is something that cannot be stopped.

Miscarriage or spontaneous abortion is the natural or spontaneous end of a pregnancy at a stage where the prenate is incapable of surviving, generally defined in humans at prior to 20 weeks of gestation. Miscarriage is the most common complication of early pregnancy.1 The medical term "spontaneous abortion" is used in reference to miscarriages because the medical term "abortion" refers to any terminated pregnancy, deliberately induced or spontaneous, although in common parlance it refers specifically to active termination of pregnancy.

it's when you loose the baby during pregnancy.. most of the time before you even realize you're pregnant. you can notice it from vaginal bleeding and cramps that are not part of your period.

The failure to "give birth" to a sneeze. It is comprised of a moment of extreme anxiety followed by a feeling of utter worthlessness. Not to be confused with purposely stopping a sneeze, because abortions are wrong.
Joe: Dude, I almost died on the way to work today.
Bill: Oh, yeah?
Joe: Yeah, I had a miscarriage. I veered into oncoming traffic, and a bus of schoolchildren and nuns swerved into a ravine.
Bill: That sucks, but at least it wasn't an abortion.
