habitual aborter -- a woman with several unexplained spontaneous miscarriages ...
Habitual aborter: a rather insensitive term for a woman who has repeated miscarriages. See "habitual miscarriage." Habitual miscarriage: the recurrent spontaneous loss of a baby.
Although it is uncommon, some women miscarry three or more times in a row; they are called habitual aborters. When this occurs, the physician conducts a thorough evaluation of both the woman and her partner to determine the cause, if any.
