Miscarriage symptoms that occur before, or during, can be different for everyone. <\/span> It is the most common type of pregnancy loss. Studies reveal that anywhere from <strong>10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage<\/strong>. Chemical pregnancies may account for <strong>50-75% of all miscarriages<\/strong>. This occurs when a pregnancy is lost shortly after implantation, resulting in bleeding that occurs around the time of her expected period. The woman may not realize that she conceived when she experiences a chemical pregnancy.<\/p>\n<h2>Warning Signs of Miscarriage<\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>If you experience any or all of these miscarriage symptoms, it is important to contact your health care provider or a medical facility to evaluate if you could be having a miscarriage:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Bleeding may start as light spotting, or it could be heavier and appear as a gush of blood. As the cervix dilates to empty, the bleeding becomes heavier.<\/p>\n<p>The heaviest bleeding is generally over within three to five hours from the time heavy bleeding begins. Lighter bleeding may stop and start over one to two weeks before it completely ends.<\/p>\n<p>The color of the blood can range from pink to red to brown. Red blood is fresh blood that leaves the body quickly. Brown blood, on the other hand, is blood that\u2019s been in the uterus a while. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may see <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/pregnancy-health-wellness\/vaginal-discharge-during-pregnancy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">discharge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the color of coffee grounds, or near black, during a miscarriage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Exactly how much bleeding you\u2019ll experience depends on a variety of circumstances, including how far along you are and whether or not your miscarriage is progressing naturally.

Chromosomes are tiny structures inside the cells of the body that carry many genes, the basic units of heredity. The reasons for miscarriage are varied, and most often cannot be identified.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Causes of Miscarriage Include (but are not limited to):<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Infection<\/li>\n<li>Exposure to environmental and workplace hazards such as high levels of radiation or toxic agents<\/li>\n<li>Hormonal irregularities<\/li>\n<li>Improper implantation of fertilized egg in the uterine lining<\/li>\n<li>Maternal age<\/li>\n<li>Uterine abnormalities<\/li>\n<li>Incompetent cervix (The cervix begins to widen and open too early, in the middle of pregnancy, without signs of pain or labor.)<\/li>\n<li>Lifestyle factors such as<a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/pregnancy-health-wellness\/smoking-during-pregnancy\/\">\u00a0smoking<\/a>, drinking <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/is-it-safe\/alcohol-and-pregnancy\/\">alcohol<\/a>, or using <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/pregnancy-health-wellness\/illegal-drugs-during-pregnancy\/\">illegal drugs<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Disorders of the immune system including\u00a0lupus, an autoimmune disease<\/li>\n<li>Severe\u00a0kidney disease<\/li>\n<li>Congenital heart disease<\/li>\n<li>Diabetes that is not controlled<\/li>\n<li>Thyroid disease<\/li>\n<li>Radiation<\/li>\n<li>Certain medicines, such as the acne drug isotretinoin (Accutane\u00ae).<\/li>\n<li>Severe malnutrition.<\/li>\n<li>Group B beta strep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> There is no proof that stress, or <a title=\"Exercise Warning Signs\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/exercise-warning-signs\/\">moderate exercise<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/sex-and-pregnancy\/\">sexual activity<\/a> causes miscarriage.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the Chances of Having a Miscarriage?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Women under the age of 35 yrs old have about a 15% chance of miscarriage<\/li>\n<li>An increase in maternal age affects the chances of miscarriage\n<ul>\n<li>Women who are 35-45 yrs old have a 20-35% chance of miscarriage,<\/li>\n<li>Women over the age of 45 can have up to a 50% chance of miscarriage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>A woman who has had a previous miscarriage has a 25% chance of\u00a0having another (only a slightly elevated risk than for someone who has not had a previous miscarriage)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Types of Miscarriage<\/h3>\n<p><b>Miscarriage is often a process and not a single event<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are several types of miscarriages and they all may have different miscarriage symptoms. You may hear your health care provider mention types of miscarriages:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Threatened Miscarriage<\/strong>: Some degree of early pregnancy uterine bleeding accompanied by <a title=\"Cramping During Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/your-pregnancy\/cramping-during-pregnancy\/\">cramping<\/a> or lower backache. The cervix remains closed. This bleeding\u00a0is often the result of implantation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inevitable or Incomplete Miscarriage:<\/strong> Abdominal or back pain accompanied by bleeding with an open cervix. Miscarriage is inevitable when there is a dilation or <a title=\"Effacement\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/labor-and-birth\/effacement\/\">effacement<\/a> of the cervix and\/or there is a rupture of the membranes. Bleeding and cramps may persist if the miscarriage is not complete.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Complete Miscarriage<\/strong><em>:<\/em> A completed miscarriage is when the embryo or <em>products of conception<\/em> have emptied out of the uterus. Bleeding should subside quickly, as should any pain or cramping. A completed miscarriage can be confirmed by an ultrasound or by having a surgical curettage (<a title=\"D&amp;C Procedure After a Miscarriage\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-complications\/d-and-c-procedure-after-miscarriage\/\">D&amp;C<\/a>) performed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Missed Miscarriage:<\/strong> Women can experience a miscarriage without knowing it. A missed miscarriage is when embryonic death has occurred but there is not any expulsion of the embryo. It is not known why this occurs. Signs of this would be a loss of pregnancy symptoms and the absence of fetal heart tones found on an <a title=\"Ultrasound: Sonogram\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/prenatal-testing\/ultrasound\/\">ultrasound<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recurrent Miscarriage (RM): <\/strong>Defined as 3 or more consecutive first trimester miscarriages. This can affect 1% of couples trying to conceive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Related Issues<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a title=\"Blighted Ovum\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-complications\/blighted-ovum\/\">Blighted Ovum<\/a>:<\/strong> Also\u00a0called an <em>embryonic pregnancy<\/em>. A fertilized egg implants into the uterine wall, but fetal development never begins. Often there is a gestational sac with or without a yolk sac, but there is an absence of fetal growth.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a title=\"Ectopic Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-complications\/ectopic-pregnancy\/\">Ectopic Pregnancy<\/a><\/strong><em>:\u00a0<\/em>A fertilized egg implants itself in places other than the uterus, most commonly the fallopian tube. Treatment is needed immediately\u00a0to stop the development of the implanted egg. If not treated rapidly, this could end in serious maternal complications.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a title=\"Molar Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-complications\/molar-pregnancy\/\">Molar Pregnancy<\/a><\/strong><em>:<\/em> The result of a genetic error during the fertilization process that leads\u00a0to the growth of abnormal tissue within the uterus. Molar pregnancies rarely involve a developing embryo, but often entail the most common\u00a0symptoms of pregnancy including a missed period, positive pregnancy test and severe <a title=\"Nausea During Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/nausea-during-pregnancy\/\">nausea<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Understanding <a title=\"Concerns Regarding Early Fetal Development\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-complications\/early-fetal-development\/\">early fetal development<\/a> and first-trimester development can give you a good idea of what is going on with your pregnancy, and help you know what your health care provider is looking for when there is a possible miscarriage occurring.<\/p>\n<h3>Miscarriage Treatments Options<\/h3>\n<p><b>The main goal of treatment during or after a miscarriage is to prevent hemorrhaging and infection<\/b>. The earlier you are in the pregnancy, the more likely that your body will expel all the fetal tissue by itself and will not require further medical procedures.<\/p>\n<p>If the body does not expel all the tissue, the most common procedure performed to stop bleeding and prevent infection is a dilation and curettage, known as a D&amp;C. Drugs may be prescribed to help control bleeding after the D&amp;C is performed. Bleeding should be monitored closely once you are at home; if you notice an increase in bleeding or the onset of chills or fever, it is best to call your physician immediately.<\/p>\n<h3>Prevention<\/h3>\n<p>Since the cause of most miscarriages is due to chromosomal abnormalities, there is not much that can be done to prevent them. One vital step is to get as healthy as you can before conceiving to provide a healthy atmosphere for conception to occur.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Exercise and Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/exercise-and-pregnancy\/\"><span class=\"closebullets\">Exercise regularly<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Eat healthily<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"How to Treat Stress Naturally During Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/your-pregnancy\/naturally\/treat-stress-naturally-pregnancy\/\">Manage stress<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Keep weight within healthy limits<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Folic Acid\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/folic-acid\/\">Take folic acid daily<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Smoking During Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/smoking-during-pregnancy\/\">Do not smoke<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Once you find out that you are pregnant, the goal is to be as healthy as possible, to provide a healthy environment for your baby to grow in:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep your abdomen safe<\/li>\n<li>Do not smoke or be around smoke<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Pregnancy and Alcohol\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/is-it-safe\/alcohol-and-pregnancy\/\">Do not drink alcohol<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Check with your doctor before taking any over-the-counter <a title=\"Medication\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/medication\/\">medications<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Caffeine Intake During Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/is-it-safe\/caffeine-and-pregnancy\/\">Limit or eliminate caffeine<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Avoid environmental hazards such as radiation, infectious disease, and <a title=\"X-Rays During Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/is-it-safe\/x-rays-during-pregnancy\">x-rays<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Avoid contact sports or activities that have a risk of injury<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Emotional Treatment for a Miscarriage<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, miscarriage can affect anyone.
