Miscarriage Baby Causes, Signs And What To Expect

By Robert Nelson


For one to be termed as having miscarried, the pregnancy must have been 20 weeks or younger. This happens to up to 20 percent of all pregnancies around the world, some without people noticing. A miscarriage baby is sometimes as a result of developmental challenges especially chromosomal deficiency. It is a natural way of the body preventing continued growth of an embryo with deformity. For some women, it happens very early in the pregnancy that it appears like normal menses.

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.

Some people are at a higher risk of miscarriage compared to others. Older women specially 40 years and above experience increased chances because of chromosomal deformities. If you have a history of miscarrying with up to three instances, your chances are also high. Chronic diseases like diabetes, blood clot, autoimmune and hormonal disorders also increase the chances of miscarriage. A history of defects in your family and uterine or cervical problems also make you 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.

The signs are not noticeable in all cases especially at the early stages. However, some of the signs of danger include back pain, cramps that grow from mild to severe, mucus that is between white and pink, passing clot-like materials or tissues, lack of such pregnancy symptoms as nausea and vomiting. With these signs, there is little to no chance of the pregnancy continuing.

See a doctor immediately you detect danger. The doctor will assess your situation and take immediate action or monitor it for a while. Bed rest may be the immediate prescription for easy management. There is no assurance that bed rest will save the situation. The body naturally eliminates the tissues. However, the doctor may use artificial or alternative means if the natural ones prove difficult.

The most common elimination methods are suction curettage and the traditional D and C. The preference for suction is because it is a quick procedure. However, in some cases, the two methods are combined. Suction entails the insertion of a suction tube through the vagina to suck the debris from the womb. An antiseptic solution is then used in cleaning 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.
