The abrupt and unexpected termination of pregnancy naturally prior to reaching 20 weeks is called miscarriage. Half of the pregnancies usually end by miscarriage that occurs in the first 12 weeks and in most cases are so early that they go unnoticed.
Types of abortion
The classification depends on when it occurs:
Risks
The potential risks of suffering a miscarriage are significantly higher after 40 years of age (25-30% probability), while they are lower between 20 and 30 years.
Women who have already had one abortion are more likely to have a second abortion, and those who have had two abortions are more likely to have a third.
Why does a miscarriage occur?
The causes may vary, but it normally occurs when there are genetic diseases and the fetus has slowed its growth, the woman has an abnormal uterus, has uncontrolled diabetes, has an incompatible blood group, or suffers an accident or strong blow.
The warning signs that a miscarriage will occur and that you should go to the ABC Emergency Room are mainly belly pain, vaginal bleeding, dilation of the cervix, fever over 38ºC, and if you notice that you have passed something solid through the vagina, or a viscous fluid with a very bad smell is flowing out.
When there is bleeding equal to or greater than that of menstruation during pregnancy, a miscarriage surely occurred, but the study necessary to have an accurate diagnosis is to perform an ultrasound that confirms that the fetus no longer has a heartbeat, accompanied by a blood count to verify hormonal levels.
