Miscarriage is a condition where a woman loses her pregnancy before 20 weeks. There are many cases of women having miscarriages, and even before they even know they are pregnant. But for those who already know they are pregnant, that number falls between 10 and 20 percent. If you think you have had a miscarriage, get medical help right away.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Recognizing the Signs of a Miscarriage

1. 

   Call your doctor or emergency department right away if any tissue, fluid, or blood clot is spilling from your vagina. This could mean you are having a miscarriage. Depending on the week of pregnancy, and the amount of bleeding, your doctor may advise you to go to the emergency room or tell you to wait in the clinic for monitoring during business hours.
   • If you see tissue in the discharge and think it might be an embryo, place the tissue in a clean, sealed container and take it to your doctor.
   • The tissue exam may sound strange, but the doctor can examine the tissue to determine if it is an embryo.

2. 

   
   
   Be aware that you are at risk of miscarriage if you have vaginal bleeding or bleeding. A lot of women experience bleeding but it is not a miscarriage. However, it is safest to contact your doctor immediately if you need to go to the emergency room.
   • You may also experience cramps. If you have severe cramps, it could also be a sign that you should go to hospital quickly.

3. 

   
   
   Pay attention if you have lower back pain. Back pain, discomfort in the abdomen, or cramping can all be signs that you are having a miscarriage, even if you're not bleeding at all.
   • Contact your doctor before taking any pain reliever.

4. 

   
   
   Know the signs of a miscarriage. This happens when a woman has an infection in the womb and miscarriages. It is very dangerous to the health and requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms include:
   • Vaginal discharge has an unpleasant odor.
   • Vaginal bleeding.
   • Fever and chills.
   • Cramps and abdominal pain.

Part 2 of 3: Examination at the Clinic

1. 

   Medical examination. Your doctor will do a number of tests and physical exams to confirm if you have a miscarriage.
   • Your doctor will usually do an ultrasound to check for an embryo in the womb. If so, an ultrasound will show if the embryo is developing normally. The heart rate can be checked if the embryo is large enough.
   • Your doctor may also examine the cervix to determine how open the cervix is.
   • Blood tests allow your doctor to measure your hormone levels.
   • If you are carrying tissue, your doctor will conduct tests to determine if it is an embryo.

2. 

   Understand the diagnoses that are made. There are several possibilities:
   • A miscarriage is when you are showing signs that you are about to have a miscarriage. Not all frightening phenomena lead to real harm. If you have cramps, or have bleeding, but your cervix is ​​not open, then you may be diagnosed with a life threatening condition.
   • If your doctor is unable to prevent the miscarriage, you will be diagnosed with an unavoidable miscarriage. This diagnosis will be made if your cervix is ​​open, and your uterus is contracting to push the embryo out.
   • A complete miscarriage occurs when both the embryo and fetal tissue are ejected.
   • An incomplete miscarriage is when you have a miscarriage, but part of the embryo or placenta doesn't come out through the vagina.
   • A missed miscarriage is when an embryo or the placenta doesn't come out even after the embryo has died.

3. 

   Follow your doctor's advice if you have been diagnosed with threatened miscarriage. Not all threatening miscarriages result in real miscarriage. However, depending on your situation, a miscarriage might not be avoided. Your doctor may recommend:
   • Rest until symptoms pass.
   • No exercise.
   • Avoid having sex.
   • Do not go to places where you cannot get prompt and quality medical care when you need it.

4. 

   Know what will happen if you have a miscarriage, without all the tissues being ejected. What your doctor recommends may depend on your wishes.
   • You can wait for the remaining tissues to eject from your body. It will take about a month.
   • Another way is to take medicine to stimulate the body to push the remaining tissue out. This usually works quickly, sometimes within a day. You can take the medicine or put it directly into the vagina.
   • If you show signs of infection, your doctor will open the uterus and remove the tissue.

5. 

   Give yourself time to recover if you have a miscarriage. Recovery is quick and you should be completely healthy in a few days.
   • Be aware that your menstrual cycle will reappear the next month. This means you can physically get pregnant right away. If you don't want to, use birth control.
   • Vaginal tissue takes up to two weeks to recover. During this time, you shouldn't have sex or use tampons.

6. 

   Take time to recover. Studies have shown that women who experience miscarriages can be as grieving as if they lost their babies near their due date. So you really need to give yourself time to grieve and have a support person by your side to talk.
   • Get support from friends and family members you trust.
   • See a support group.
   • Almost every woman who has a miscarriage will still have a healthy pregnancy after that. A miscarriage doesn't mean you won't be able to have a baby.

1. 

   Understand the common cause of a miscarriage. Lots of miscarriages happen because the fetus is not developing properly. This can happen for a number of reasons, either due to the genetic makeup of the embryo or the health of the mother.
