miscarriagesThe pregnant lady requires a lot of care and attention for the sake of giving birth to a healthy child but sometimes due to many reasons the ladies fail to carry their baby more than 20 weeks ad this situation results in miscarriage that is also called abortion.

In the medical terms, the miscarriage is the termination of pregnancy before the fetal development has reached 20 weeks. This is a very unfortunate fact that the rates of miscarriages are quite high even more than what we can imagine and the reasons for this are numerous.

Many times the pregnancy gets terminated even before the women get to know that she is pregnant and this case is very common as well. This has been reported that majority of miscarriages have occurred because of the abnormal growth of fetus and there are lots of reason that can lead to this abnormal growth.

The Miscarriage is linked to many symptoms and causes and this is very important that the ladies should be aware of these issues. In this article I am going to discuss this problem in a bit detail and first of all let’s start with the symptoms that are associated with this problem.

Miscarriages Symptoms

  • There are many symptoms associated with the miscarriages and some of the most common ones are the cramping and vaginal bleeding. The levels of cramping and vaginal bleeding could be mild, moderate or severe. This thing has also been noticed that sometimes the bleeding may happen due to cervical irritation or the process of implantation and the pregnancy may continue after this, so you don’t think that every kind of vaginal bleeding is the end of your pregnancy period.
  • Another symptom that is also associated with the miscarriage is severe abdominal pain and the doctors call it a symptom of ectopic pregnancy which is a very life threatening condition not only for the baby but also for the mother.
