Miscarriage Baby Symptoms, Causes, And What To Expect

By Robert Nelson


A woman who has miscarried is one who loses a pregnancy within the first 20 weeks. Shockingly, this happens in between ten and twenty percent of all pregnancy cases. A miscarriage baby is not a health emergency unless a specialist has established it to be. In some cases, it is so early that a woman does not notice and thus goes ahead to have what appears to be normal periods.

You will be surprised that most miscarriages are naturally occurring. In almost 50 to 70 cases are thought to be a natural way of chromosomes dealing with deformities especially if it happens in the first trimester. The idea is to prevent deformities. In other cases, scientists cite the challenges of early development as the cause, like failure to attach properly or the embryo having deformities that prevent normal growth.

There are people whose chances of miscarriage are higher than others. Women above the age of 40 years have higher chances of chromosomal deformities leading to problematic embryos. Those who have miscarried between two and three times in the past also have higher chances. If your are suffering from diseases or conditions like diabetes, hormonal disorders, autoimmune and blood clot, your chances are also high. Families with a history of deformities also face a greater risk. Mothers with cervical or uterine problems are also vulnerable.

Infections in the cervical area or the womb also increase your chances of miscarrying. You may also miscarry because of certain medicines. Women living in highly polluted areas also face a higher risk. A father who has experienced prolonged exposure to such toxic metals as lead or mercury or industrial chemicals and pesticides is also likely to cause the woman to miscarry.

At the very early stages, the signs are not even noticeable. However, watch out for such signs as lower back pains, mild to severe cramps, passing of clot or tissues, white to pink mucus and the end of such pregnancy signs as nausea and vomiting. When these signs have been observed, the pregnancy rarely goes to full term.

If you think you are having a miscarriage, contact a doctor or midwife as soon as possible. Depending on the trimester, the doctor may recommend bed rest in an attempt to stop or monitor the situation. There is no evidence that this saves the situation but is good for management. The tissues must be eliminated from the body naturally or through medical procedures. Doctors choose to wait for the natural process if it is not dangerous for the mother.

The common procedures of removal are traditional D and C and suction curettage. The suction method is preferred for its safety and speed of operation. The two methods may also be used together. The tissues are sucked with a tube through your cervix. An antiseptic solution is then used to clean the womb.

Expect to experience mild cramps a day or two after the procedure. You will also experience mild bleeding lasting up to two weeks. Do not have sex, swim, avoid douching or medication involving the vagina until bleeding stops completely. Severe bleeding should warrant a 411 call and emergency attention in hospital. Wait for a few months before attempting to get pregnant.
