Miscarriage

A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. It often occurs when there are problems with the developing fetus, such as genetic abnormalities. Symptoms can include bleeding, cramping, and the sudden end of pregnancy symptoms like nausea. Miscarriages are relatively common, affecting about 10-20% of known pregnancies. They can be emotionally challenging, but many women go on to have successful pregnancies afterward. It’s important for those who experience a miscarriage to seek support and care, both physically and emotionally, from healthcare professionals and loved ones.
