Miscarriage: Signs & Prevention
Miscarriage is defined as a spontaneous loss of pregnancy. Primarily, miscarriages happen due to genetic reasons and chromosomal abnormalities, and these factors inhibit the growth of the fetus. Besides the above, hormonal levels, uncontrolled diabetes, exposure to toxic agents, uterine abnormalities, medications, smoking, alcohol and drug abuse can also lead to miscarriages. A blood condition called thrombophilia can also lead to miscarriage.
Miscarriage is an unfortunate experience that affects both partners. However, the woman goes through both physical and mental trauma.
Remember, miscarriage is often a chromosomal abnormality and is not just the mother's negligence. Your doctor is the first person to help you understand the tragedy, and he will explain to you how you can avoid it in your subsequent pregnancy.
These precautions would avoid future mishaps and recurrent pregnancy losses in many cases.
Do not try to conceive until you complete at least two menstrual cycles.
Exercise regularly and keep your weight consistent.
Take prenatal vitamins and folic acid supplements every day.
Do not neglect abnormal vaginal discharge.
