Miscarriage

Summary By Lorena Goldsmith

Miscarriage Symptoms

A miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy prior to the 24th week, due to natural causes. Symptoms

Cramps and pelvic and back pain could mean the loss of the pregnancy, as well as the sudden stop of the pregnancy symptoms (nausea, sickness, tender breasts, please see Signs of Pregnancy). If you have pelvic or back cramps or light spotting during your pregnancy, call your midwife or GP at once. Sometimes the ultrasound will show the end of pregnancy before any symptoms occur.

Signs

The most frequent sign of a miscarriage is the bleeding and an open cervix.

Why?

Most of the miscarriage causes are still a mystery, but it is believed that miscarriage mainly occurs due to the low quality of the combination of the genetic material during fertilisation.

Sometimes, it can occur due to the mother’s natural incapability of carrying a full time pregnancy. In the case of a multiple pregnancy, the chances of a miscarriage are also higher.

If a miscarriage has started, there is very little to do in order to save the embryo/fetus. If the cervix is still closed, that means it is only a so called “threatened miscarriage” and a lot can be done to help the baby and keep the cervix closed.

If after 8 weeks, no heart beat is detected, there is not much that can be done and it means that miscarriage has occurred. It is quite common to have two or more miscarriages, although experts recommend to ask for further exams if three consecutive miscarriages occurred in order to rule out any potential cause.

Is Pregnancy still possible?

Yes! Even after more than one miscarriage, pregnancy is achievable and it’s believed that a pregnancy cannot be affected in any way by previous miscarriages, if all the tissue and discharge have been cleared and no infection or any problems have arisen after.

Pregnancy Miscarriage – Symptoms Associated With Miscarriage

Summary By Saurabh K Jain

Pregnancy miscarriage is the traumatic end of a pregnancy.

Causes And Symptoms Of Pregnancy

Basically the baby’s failure to be developed in the uterus marks pregnancy miscarriage. Sometimes miscarriages can take place without the pregnant woman even coming to know that she was pregnant. You must hurry and call your doctor to prevent losing your baby. Medical experts suggest if a pregnant woman shows vaginal bleeding, she must lie down to protect her pregnancy from coming to an end.

Medical professionals plan measures on the basis of the period of pregnancy in which the vaginal bleeding takes place. If the bleeding appears anytime after 28 weeks, then it will not necessarily be a signal of pregnancy miscarriage. Bleeding after 28 weeks may signal complications in the placenta. The doctors may carry out ultrasound to determine the position of placenta.

How To Prevent Pregnancy Miscarriage?

Consult with your doctor to find ways to save your babies from succumbing to pregnancy miscarriage. Call for another pregnancy test or ultrasound to confirm you are still at a safe distance from risk of miscarriage.

As long as the vaginal bleeding is experienced as mild and painless, there is little risk of pregnancy miscarriage involved. When you find the bleeding to be heavy and terribly hurting, then it marks pregnancy miscarriage. Painful vaginal bleeding indicates that the baby has stopped developing.
