The first months of the pregnancy are a critical period. The embryo develops and settles into the wall of the uterus. Sadly, this doesn\u2019t always happen the way it should. In that case, the result is a miscarriage.<\/p>\n

A miscarriage is the loss of a non-viable embryo in the first period of the pregnancy. The embryo can die due to several reasons and subsequently be expelled. This happens more often than you might think: 15 to 20% of all diagnosed pregnancies end in a miscarriage.<\/p>\n

In case of a very early miscarriage, growth has been stopped early on in the pregnancy, an embryo never developed. On the ultrasound we will only see an empty amniotic sac. If the miscarriage occurs at a later stage, in which the embryo has grown, we will see an embryo without a heartbeat.<\/p>\n

In 95% of all cases miscarriage is the result of preexisting condition of the embryo. Often this is the result of a chromosome disorder caused during conception. Nature looks for a \u201c solution\u201d and the pregnancy ends in a miscarriage.<\/p>\n

Usually, this is not the result of a hereditary condition. Hence, there is no increased risk for a subsequent pregnancy. In 5% of the cases the miscarriage is the result of an improper nidation, infection, aberrant shape of the uterus, a myoma or unknown cause. When a woman has had two or more miscarriages it is possible to have further examination done.<\/p>\n

You cannot cause a miscarriage yourself. A miscarriage is not the result of physical exertion, making love, falling or, for example, horseback riding. It can, however, be the trigger for an already existing miscarriage, to start.
A miscarriage can’t be stopped or prevented.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the first signs of a miscarriage is usually loss of blood from the vagina. Pregnancy signs such as tender breasts and nausea sometimes decrease right before a miscarriage. If the miscarriage persists it is usually accompanied by abdominal pain. The intensity of the pain generally depends on the duration of the pregnancy. In the beginning the pain can resemble menstruation pain and can increase to labor pain.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, a miscarriage can also occur without symptoms, or with a little (brown) blood loss and minimal cramping.
Besides that blood loos doesn’t always mean a miscarriage is happening. An ultrasound can usually provide a definitive answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The stages of a miscarriage vary widely from person to person, but generally occurs along the following lines:<\/p>\n

Initially there is a little blood loss that can last for several days. Subsequently, the miscarriage persists and you will generally start losing more clear-red blood (make sure you carry sanitary napkins). The blood loss varies in amount from a regular menstruation to a very severe menstruation. You can also lose clots. Clots are clumps of blood that can be as large as a fist. In most cases you won\u2019t recognize the amniotic sac or embryo as such, but this depends on the term during which the miscarriage occurs.<\/p>\n

When the blood loss increases this is often accompanied by painful cramping which resembles strong menstruation pain. The pain comes in waves: it occurs for a few minutes and then goes away. Usually, the pain subsides when blood is released from the uterus. It is possible that you will have several minutes to hours of cramping for it to subside and subsequently return.
The contractions of the uterus cause the cramping. Because of this, everything that\u2019s inside the uterus is expelled. In this way your body cleans your uterus.<\/p>\n

To counteract the painful cramping you can use paracetamol 1000 mg (max 6 x 500 mg a day \u2013 3 x 2 tablets). We advise against the use of aspirin as it thins the blood. A hot water bottle or shower can also alleviate the pain. Don\u2019t use tampons during the miscarriage.<\/p>\n

When the uterus is empty the blood loss will diminish and the cramping will subside to a dull pain. The day after the miscarriage you will lose about as much blood as during a menstruation. The cramping will be over. You can continue to lose clear colored blood for about 5 to 10 days which will then become dark brown blood.<\/p>\n
