Miscarriage takes a toll on the physical and emotional health of a woman. Besides going for regular check-ups, medications, post-miscarriage treatment, and emotional recovery, there are a few extra precautions to take and things to do after a miscarriage.

They include:

· Keep a check on vaginal bleeding. If you experience prolonged bleeding with persistent pain do consult your doctor immediately.

· Know the difference between normal and infectious/ abnormal vaginal discharge and lookout for it.

· Keep a check on your body temperature. Developing a high degree of fever and a miscarriage could be indicative of infection and in a few cases also lead to infertility too.

· Avoid having sexual intercourse till 6 weeks.

· Avoid alcohol smoking caffeine and drug abuse of any kind as it slows the recovery mentally, physically, and emotionally.

· Make sure you take multi-vitamins and supplements to support your health and recovery.

· Exercise regularly as it will not only help you recover emotionally but also physically. 

. Do not conceive for the next 6 months and also start taking folic acid 3 months prior to trying to conceive. 

. Very importantly, try for another pregnancy only when you recover fully and you are prepared physically, emotionally, and financially.

· Lastly give equal importance to emotional health and take necessary therapy or medications if needed to avoid depression.
