What is a Miscarriage?

• Miscarriage, also known as spontaneous abortion
  and pregnancy loss, is the natural death of an
  embryo or fetus before it is able to survive
  independently.
• Miscarriage is when an embryo or fetus dies
  before the 20th week of pregnancy.
• The medical term for miscarriage is spontaneous
  abortion.
• Every womans experience of miscarriage is
  different, but common symptoms include the
  following
• 1. bleeding
• 2. Vaginal discharge of fluid
• 3. pain
• 4. a loss of pregnancy symptoms

What Causes a Miscarriage?

• There are probably many reasons why a miscarriage
  may happen, although the cause is not usually
  identified.
• The majority are not caused by anything the
  mother has done.
• It's thought most miscarriages are caused by
  abnormal chromosomes in the baby.
• Chromosomes are genetic "building blocks" that
  guide the development of a baby.
• If a baby has too many or not enough chromosomes,
  it will not develop properly.

The Symptoms You Must know Are

• Vaginal bleeding- that might be preceded by
  brownish discharge is a classic symptom of
  miscarriage as the older blood shows the uterus
  is shedding the ovum implant.
• Passage of blood clots -normal periods must be a
  fixed flow of blood lasting 3 to 5 days. Bigger
  blood clots show a struggle happening in your
  uterus to shed the lining.
• Lower back pain- some people describe this as
  uterus spasms pressing against the back nerves.
• Leg cramping- this is considered a milder sign of
  miscarriage
• Cramps in the pelvic area- general cramping
  shouldnt take place during a healthy pregnancy.
• Contractions- Contraction is also an early sign
  of miscarriage that is often confused with signs
  of pregnancy itself. Still, it is advisable to
  visit your doctor.
• Sometimes there are no signs and your miscarriage
  may just be found out in a routine scan.

The Symptoms You Must know Are

• Feeling of weakness- this is an early sign of
  miscarriage that can be confused with the signs
  of pregnancy
• Passing of vaginal blood clot- if your
  menstruation is late and then followed by a heavy
  flow of blood, its possible you are experiencing
  a miscarriage.
• Nausea- This is an early sign of miscarriage that
  is also confused with general pregnancy signs. If
  you have not been experienced this before or
  tired, you may be having an early miscarriage.
• Weight loss- a significant weight loss is also an
  indication of miscarriage

What are the different types of miscarriages?

• Threatened miscarriage You have vaginal
  bleeding and may have mild cramps, but your
  cervix stays closed. Half of the time, the
  bleeding stops and your pregnancy goes on
  normally.
• Inevitable miscarriage You have increasing
  bleeding, and your cervix opens. If this happens,
  theres no chance for your pregnancy to continue.
• Incomplete miscarriage Some of the pregnancy
  tissue comes out of your uterus, and some stays
  inside. You may need follow-up treatment to
  remove the remaining tissue.
• Complete miscarriage All the pregnancy tissue
  comes out of your uterus. You usually dont need
  any extra treatment.

Can miscarriages be prevented?

• You cannot stop a miscarriage from happening once
  the signs start to appear.
• Therefore, it is advisable to visit your
  physician and be treated to avoid infection or
  hemorrhaging.
• there are some things you can do to reduce the
  risk of a miscarriage.
• Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol and using drugs
  while pregnant.
• Being a healthy weight before getting pregnant,
  eating a healthy diet and reducing your risk of
  infection can also help.
