Know the signs of miscarriage and how to deal with it

Miscarriage is a condition in which a woman becomes pregnant before the 20th week of pregnancy. There are many cases of miscarriage, and even before they know they are pregnant. But for those who know they are pregnant, the number falls between 10 and 20 percent. If you think you have had a miscarriage, contact medical help immediately.

Call a doctor or emergency room right away if there is tissue, fluid or blood clots from the vagina. This could be a miscarriage. Depending on your pregnancy week, and the amount of haemorrhage, your doctor may recommend going to the emergency room or telling you to wait at the clinic to watch during office hours.

If you notice any tissue in the fluid and think that it could be an embryo, put the tissue in a clean, closed container and take it to the doctor.
+ Tissue exam may sound strange, but your doctor may examine the tissue to determine if it is an embryo.

Be aware that you are at risk of miscarriage if you have bleeding or vaginal bleeding. A lot of women have bleeding but not a miscarriage. However, it is safest to contact a doctor immediately if you need to go to the emergency room.

+ You may also have cramps. If you have severe cramps, it may also be a sign that you should quickly go to the hospital.

Pay attention if you have lower back pain. Back pain, discomfort in the abdomen or cramping can be signs that you are having a miscarriage, even though you're not bleeding at all.

Check in Clinic

Medical examination. Your doctor will perform a number of tests and physical exams to confirm whether or not you have had a miscarriage. [6]
+ The doctor will usually perform an ultrasound to check whether there is an embryo in the womb. If so, an ultrasound will show whether the embryo is developing normally. The heart rate can also be checked if the embryo is large enough.

+ If your doctor cannot prevent a miscarriage, you will be diagnosed with an unavoidable miscarriage. This diagnosis will be made if your cervix is ​​open, and the uterus is contracting to eject the embryo.
+ Complete abortion occurs when both the embryo and fetal tissue are pushed out.
+ Miscarriage is not completely when you have a miscarriage but a part of the embryo or placenta does not come out through the vagina.
+ Missing miscarriage is when the embryo or placenta does not go out even if the embryo is dead.

If you have signs of an infection, your doctor will open a uterus and remove tissue.

Give yourself time to recover if you miscarry. The recovery process will happen quickly and you will be completely healthy after a few days. [9]
+ Be aware that your menstrual cycle will still reappear next month. This means you can physically get pregnant again right away. If you do not want to, use birth control.
+ Vaginal tissue takes up to two weeks to recover. During this time, you should not have sex or use tampons.
