What A Miscarriage Looks Like, Pregnancy Loss, Or Heavy Period?
Miscarriage is the sudden, unexpected loss of pregnancy before reaching the 20th week. This happens when the foetus does not develop as expected and terminates early in pregnancy.
It is reported that nearly 8 out of 10 miscarriages occur in the first trimester.
It may not be easy to tell whether it is a miscarriage or a period. In fact, early pregnancy loss can happen even before you are aware of the pregnancy. You may not notice anything unusual.
Miscarriages are typically beyond your control. They don’t occur because of something you did.
Everyday activities like exercising, routine work, sexual intercourse, or travel do not result in a miscarriage. It is primarily caused due to genetic problems, health issues like severe diabetes or infections, major injuries, or previous miscarriages. An annual gynaecological exam can significantly reduce these risk factors. And it can all start with taking the first step and scheduling an appointment with an expert.
