Has it been a few months that you have pulled
yourself up from the grief of miscarrying your
first unborn? We know that, now theres a feeling
of numbness and shock in you. After all, you
didnt want to lose your baby.
Well! We sincerely empathise with your grief.
But, talking about miscarriage, let us tell you
that, you are not alone in this phase. Studies
have claimed that, around 15 of pregnancies end
in miscarriage. And, maternal age, uterine
abnormalities, hormonal irregularities, body
weight and medical conditions like diabetes,
thyroid, and hypertension are some of the leading
causes of miscarriage. 
However earlier, pregnancy loss used to be a
hush-hush thing in the society. But these days
and ages, pregnancy loss gets discussed out in
the open and the conversations mostly revolves
around the emotional and physical response that
your body undergoes after the miscarriage.

So, What Happens to Your Body After Miscarriage?
Every womans body reacts differently to
pregnancy loss. Therefore, there no one symptom
that she will experience after her miscarriage. 
Abdominal Cramps and Vaginal Bleeding
Since the uterus contracts to release blood and
tissue, it had been holding on to, experiencing
mild to severe lower abdominal cramping, spotting
for up to 4 weeks and vaginal bleeding, (almost
similar to heavier menstrual bleeding) is not
uncommon. Since the foetus gets detached from the
uterine lining, during a miscarriage, this
bleeding lasts for a week, or sometimes even more
than that. However, the duration of bleeding
mostly depends upon the type of miscarriage you
underwent. Plus, lower abdomen pain may last up
to 2 days after your miscarriage. This pain is
almost similar to your cramps during periods and
might even extend up to your lower back. In such
cases medical or surgical intervention might be
necessitated.

Breast Change
Oestrogen and progesterone hormones during early
pregnancy rise not just to prepare the uterine
lining for implantation and help the foetus to
develop but also supports the production of milk.
However, these hormones which once rose rapidly,
begins to drop after a pregnancy loss. It in
fact, signals your body to subside the production
of milk. That means, with no breast stimulation,
the milk making process is going to stop on its
own after a week or two.

Nauseous and Puckish Feeling Usually, during
early pregnancy, doctors take the Human chorionic
gonadotropin (hCG) test looking the pregnancy
symptoms in the uterine. The hCG hormones,
(responsible for producing the placenta and the
hormone-producing cells that form ovaries), are
high during early pregnancy, and contribute to
the symptoms like nausea and vomiting. After a
miscarriage, however, these hormones tend to
remain in the bloodstream for about a month or
two and might continue to make you feel nauseous
and puckish.
Other Side Effects This dramatic shift in
hormones can greatly impact your emotions. So,
shame, guilt, anxiety, disappointment, failure,
insomnia and fatigue are not uncommon.

But Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining
Although a miscarriage is not in your hands, but
by talking to some people close in your life like
your partner, friends or family members and
sharing grievances will give you some relief. You
can even discuss your issues with a mental health
professional, who will recommend you to support
groups, where you will listen to others and share
your own experience with them.
Thats not all. Keep consulting your
gynaecologist and set an activity routine for
yourself. Who knows you might expect a rainbow
baby?
