Miscarriage at an early age. Common causes
Such a misfortune, as a miscarriage at an early age, can comprehend every woman. Unfortunately, in our conditions every eighth pregnant woman experiences an early miscarriage. What are its causes, how to prevent it and what to do if you suspect its offensive?
The main causes of miscarriage
However cruel it may sound, if a miscarriage occurs at an early date, this almost always means a more favorable situation for future parents. After all, if the fetus is unable to survive even at this stage of its development, even if the situation is saved and the child is born, it is likely that there will be some genetic deviation that will greatly affect his further health - perhaps the newborn will not even surviveafter childbirth.
Miscarriage in the first week or miscarriage at week 2, as a rule, means exactly this. There is a high probability that the child will remain disabled for life. Perhaps some couples will prefer to try again, than to produce such a child.
If you dig deeper, then why such an incompatible genetic mutation may appear?
Sometimes it happens that in the recessive genes of the mother or father there is a gene that simply does not allow this person to produce healthy children. Rarely, but there are cases when a specific mother and father are simply genetically incompatible. However, a more commonplace situation is more common: unhealthy lifestyle of parents before pregnancy and wrong behavior of the expectant mother during pregnancy.
Early miscarriage can be manifested in two forms - profuse bleeding and secretion in a mixture with blood( or mixed with a brown substance).In the first case, the child can not be saved in any way, and in the second case one can try - if timely medical assistance is provided, which, however, also can not always save a child.
How to prevent early miscarriage?
Unfortunately, with our genetics we can not do anything, but with a way of life - without ceremony. First, it is necessary to begin planning a child, at least one year before the alleged conception. At this time, both parents need to quit smoking, if you smoke, start eating properly, exercise - in general, lead a healthy lifestyle.
When the desired pregnancy occurs, a future mother needs to completely avoid passive smoking, unhealthy eating and excessive physical exertion. In no case should you overstrain the nervous system. This is a great time to practice yoga and swimming, to learn the techniques of meditative breathing. Protect yourself from diseases, infections, try to maintain the body in a healthy state.
And, of course, do not neglect the visit to the gynecologist, keep track of all stages of pregnancy.
What could be the consequences?
What if there was a misfortune, and an early miscarriage took place? First, try to reassure yourself that the consequences for your body will almost certainly not be - you can still give birth to a healthy baby, miscarriage does not affect your reproductive capacity. After the abortion has occurred, you need to conduct a detailed examination at the gynecologist to make sure that the miscarriage has not caused any damage to your physical health.
Much more important is psychological help after a miscarriage. Many women may feel insolvent as women after a miscarriage, stop believing in their ability to give birth to a healthy child. Please remember that this happens to every eighth woman!
Unfortunately, modern ecology, stressful living conditions and improper food products, as well as the recently transferred illness can strongly affect this outcome - unborn children are still very fragile beings. If you try again, later, then a healthy baby will always appear - the main thing is to believe in it! Not too much for you will be a course of special psychotherapy, since this test can be too complicated, even plunge into depression. Early miscarriage is not a sentence! Be happy, no matter what.
