Pregnancy miscarriage is the traumatic end of a pregnancy. It marks the natural or spontaneous end of a pregnancy at a stage where the embryo or the fetus is not capable of surviving. Most expectant mothers seem to get panicky about this mishap during the course of pregnancy. As per medical experts, miscarriages can take place in the first trimester or the first twelve weeks of pregnancy.



Another factor that may also encourage a miscarriage is the exposure to dangerous chemicals such as benzene and arsenic or some drugs such as alcohol or cigarettes. Taking some medical drugs and the age of the father are other mentionable factors.



Another cause of miscarriage is simply for unknown reasons. Sometimes miscarriages occur and no obvious reason can be found. Some people want to place blame on environmental factors such as pesticides, or the antibiotics and hormones that farmers use when raising livestock. No such proof exists as of date that indicates the use of antibiotics and hormones in livestock causes miscarriages.



Some medical disorders like pelvic infection, diabetes, insulin resistance syndrome, thyroid disease, thrombophilia, lupus and antiphospholipid syndrome may increase your risk of early pregnancy loss. If you have any of these disorders, work with your doctors to ensure your condition is under control before planning to get pregnant.



Between twenty and fifty percent of pregnancies end in miscarriages. In the vast majority of cases occur during the first weeks of pregnancy. Often the signs that an abortion has occurred during the early stages of pregnancy are undetectable without the woman was even aware I was pregnant or that there has been an abortion. In most cases mistaken for a menstrual period.



If a miscarriage has started, there is very little to do in order to save the embryo/fetus. If you notice even the slightest spotting on your underwear, call the midwife or GP immediately and ask for a consultation. This is very important, even if it might sound useless at the time. If the cervix is still closed, that means it is only a so called "threatened miscarriage" and a lot can be done to help the baby and keep the cervix closed.



It may be accompanied with low back pain and contractions, and in some cases bleeding may be accompanied with clots. Women may also experience cessation of pregnancy symptoms such as tenderness in the breasts, morning sickness etc.



As a result of their tragedy, there is the additional emotional strain that the mother and father cannot escape. Their dreams of a handsome son or a beautiful daughter have disappeared. Physical pain will heal; but it is the emotional pain that endures. For some, at this time it may be too painful to discuss with anyone outside the immediate family what they are feeling. Pressuring a couple about the details of the miscarriage would not be wise. As time goes on and healing takes place, the mother or father may choose to discuss the loss. Professional grief counseling can be very helpful in this regard.
