**Understanding the Signs of Miscarriage**



**What is a Miscarriage?**



A miscarriage is ‍the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before ‌the ‍fetus⁤ is viable. It typically occurs within the first 12 weeks of ‍gestation, but can happen at any⁣ point during pregnancy.



**Common⁤ Signs of Miscarriage**



* **Vaginal bleeding:**⁤ This may be light or heavy, and may ‍be⁢ accompanied by cramps.

* ⁢**Cramping:**⁢ Painful contractions in ‌the lower abdomen or back.

* **Passage of tissue or fluid:** This may include the fetus, placenta, or blood⁢ clots.

* **No longer having pregnancy symptoms:** Such⁢ as nausea, breast ​tenderness, or‍ fatigue.

* **Fetal ⁤heartbeat⁢ no⁢ longer detectable:** Typically confirmed through an ultrasound.

* **Cramps‍ and bleeding ⁤after​ a positive pregnancy test:** This may indicate a chemical pregnancy, ⁤where the⁤ fertilized egg fails to implant successfully.

* **Severe ​abdominal pain or fever:** This may be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy or other medical emergency.



**Causes of Miscarriage**



The exact cause ⁤of miscarriage is often‌ unknown, but​ common⁣ factors include:



* Chromosomal⁣ abnormalities

* Maternal health conditions ⁤(e.g., diabetes, thyroid issues)

* Infection or illness

*‌ Advanced maternal age

* Lifestyle factors‌ (e.g., smoking, excessive alcohol consumption)

* Physical trauma

* Uterine abnormalities



**When to Seek‍ Medical Attention**

* No heartbeat ⁢detected⁣ on ultrasound after 6 weeks of pregnancy



**Treatment ​Options**



Treatment options for miscarriage depend on the stage of⁣ pregnancy⁢ and the‍ severity of the ‍symptoms.



* **Conservative⁢ management:** Monitoring ‌the situation⁢ and allowing the miscarriage to ⁣complete naturally.

* **Medical management:**​ Medications (e.g., misoprostil)‍ to induce a ⁢miscarriage.

* **Surgical management:** Dilation and curettage (D&C) to ⁤remove ⁤the pregnancy tissue.
