What are the Different Types of Miscarriage?

There are different types of miscarriage. The most common types include:

• Early Miscarriage: The early miscarriage occurs before the 12th week of pregnancy. This type of miscarriage accounts for the majority of miscarriages.

• Late Miscarriage: The late miscarriage typically occurs during the 12th and 20th weeks of pregnancy.

• Threatened Miscarriage: In this type of miscarriage, the cervix remains closed, vaginal bleeding or cramping occurs and the pregnancy may continue.

• Inevitable Miscarriage: In inevitable miscarriage, the signs and symptoms like bleeding and cramping are more severe. The symptoms indicate the pregnancy cannot be saved.

• Completed Miscarriage: The pregnancy tissue has been removed from the uterus naturally.

• Incomplete Miscarriage: Part of the pregnancy tissue remains in the uterus. This type of miscarriage requires medical intervention.

• Missed Miscarriage: The fetus has died but the body hasn't discharged it yet.

Miscarriage symptoms may include:

• Light or heavy vaginal bleeding

• Cramping in the lower abdomen

• Pain in the lower abdomen

• Passing tissue

• Passing clots

• Nausea or diarrhea

• Discharge of fluid or tissue from the vagina

• Your gynecologist will ask about your medical history and the symptoms you are experiencing.

• They will conduct a pelvic exam to determine whether the cervix has opened or not.

• Depending on your condition, they may order some diagnostic tests such as an ultrasound and blood tests to check the hCG level.

Treatment for miscarriage depends on the specific circumstances of your miscarriage. In most cases, there is no need for medical intervention. However, if there is retained tissue in the uterus, your gynecologist may go for medication or a procedure called dilation and curettage (D&C).

While some miscarriages can't be prevented, there are several things you may do in consultation with you to decrease your risk of miscarriage:

Before pregnancy:

• Take Folic Acid: Start taking folic acid at least one to two months before conception. This may help prevent neural tube defects in the developing baby.

• Maintain a Healthy Weight: Being overweight can increase the risk of miscarriage. It is important to maintain a healthy weight before pregnancy.

• Eat a Balanced Diet: Eat a healthy and well-balanced diet. Add whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein to your meal. Try to avoid junk and processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive caffeine.

• Exercise Regularly: Regular exercising is safe and beneficial during pregnancy. So, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily or most of the days of the week.

• Manage Stress: Stress may increase your risk of miscarriage. So, find healthy ways to manage stress. The healthy ways can be yoga or meditation.

• Avoid Smoking, Alcohol, and Drugs: Tobacco and alcoholic substances can all increase the risk of miscarriage. So, quit smoking before pregnancy. Try to avoid drinking alcohol and using drugs completely during pregnancy.

• Get Adequate Sleep: To relax your mind and body, it is important to get adequate sleep. So, make a routine to sleep for 7-8 hours each night.

• Manage Medical Conditions: If you have any pre-existing health issues, then consult with your doctor to manage those conditions. Because some health issues, such as diabetes, thyroid, or uterine abnormalities can increase the risk of miscarriage.

During Pregnancy:

• Continue Taking Prenatal Vitamins: Prenatal vitamins are beneficial for you and your developing baby. They provide vital nutrients for your baby's development.

• Listen to Your Body: If you experience any uncommon symptoms, consult with your gynecologist immediately. These symptoms may include vaginal bleeding or severe pain.

• Go For Regular Checkups- Go for regular checkups to monitor your health and the baby's development.

The risk of miscarriage varies depending on different factors. These factors do not guarantee a miscarriage but may increase the risk.

• History of Miscarriages: If you have a history of miscarriages, then there is an increased risk of miscarriage in future pregnancies.

• Medical Conditions: Some medical conditions, such as diabetes, thyroid, uterine abnormalities, and cervical insufficiency, can increase the risk of miscarriage.

• Lifestyle Factors: Some lifestyle factors can increase the risk of miscarriage. These factors can be obesity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and the use of drugs.

Age:

• Under 30 Years: Around 10% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.

• 35-39 Years: The risk of miscarriage at this age increases to around 20%.

• 40-44 Years: The miscarriage risk rises to about 35%.

• Over 45 Years: More than 50% of pregnancies in this age group end in miscarriage.

Other Factors:

• Multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.)

• Chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus
