Выкидыш 12 недель: как выглядит (фото), как происходит, признаки

Сгустки и ткани при выкидыше – что это? Фото по неделям

Факт выкидыша может нанести большую травму. Но наблюдение за самим процессом самопроизвольного прерывания беременности может быть еще более тяжелым. Выкидыш или самопроизвольный аборт определяется как потеря ребенка до 24 недели, хотя иногда этот срок обрезается до 20 недель. Около 50% беременностей заканчиваются выкидышем, но на очень ранних сроках женщины часто даже не знают, что были уже беременны и не испытывали никаких признаков. Среди клинически подтвержденных беременностей этот показатель около 15-20%.

Изображения сгустков могут помочь подготовиться к происходящему, если вам сказали, что вы, вероятно, потеряете своего ребенка. Эта статья также поможет подготовить вас к тому, что ожидать при выкидыше.

Кровотечение во время беременности

Прежде чем рассмотреть некоторые фотографии, важно обсудить кровотечение во время беременности.
Каждая четвертая женщина, замечает кровотечение на раннем сроке. Но выделение крови является обычным явлением в первые 12 недель и, как правило, об этом не стоит беспокоиться. Если кровотечение уменьшается и проходит за 1-2 дня, то оно не указывает на выкидыш. Чаще всего беременность продолжается, и на свет появляется здоровый ребенок.

Однако некоторые типы кровотечений могут быть признаком чего-то более серьезного, особенно если они обильные или сопровождаются спазмами. Узнайте, как выглядит и сколько длится кровотечение при выкидыше.

Кровотечение может иметь красный, как в период менструации, или светло-коричневый цвет. Кровянистые выделения на раннем сроке обычно являются нормой и часто выступают признаком того, что яйцеклетка имплантирована в матку (имплантационное кровотечение). Обычно это происходит во время предполагаемой даты месячных, а затем останавливается через несколько дней.

Выходящие сгустки и  ткани при выкидыше по неделям беременности

Беременность может прерваться на любом этапе, но чаще это происходит в первые недели. На  более ранних сроках при выкидыше можно увидеть только кровь и сгустки, но если выкидыш происходит после 8 недели, то есть вероятность обнаружить болнн плотные ткани, мешочек с эмбрионом и даже сформировавшийся плод.

Пожалуйста, имейте в виду, что эти фотографии являются только примером, предназначенным, чтобы понять общую суть и помочь вам подготовиться. Они не означают, что эмбрион или плод будет выходит в настолько сохраненном виде.

Если вы беременны менее 8 недель, то сгустки, спазмы и кровотечения обычно даже не будут отличаться от тяжелой менструации (месячных). На более сложном сроке вы можете помимо сгустков заметить части более плотной ткани, которая является плацентарной или другими продуктами зачатия. А также можете увидеть или не увидеть ткань, которая выглядит как эмбрион или плод.

4 — 5 недель

Во время выкидыша на сроке беременности в 4 недели при кровотечении со сгустками крови, вы можете заметить некоторую белую или серую ткань среди них. На этом этапе беременности самого эмбриона вы не будете видеть вообще во время выкидыша, так как он меньше ½ см длиной или размером с рисовое зернышко.

6 недель

У вас может быть кровотечение, сгустки и иногда можно обнаружить маленький мешочек с жидкостью, очень маленький эмбрион размером с горошину, а также прикрепленную плаценту. Некоторые женщины даже обнаруживали пуповину, но в шесть недель все равно очень сложно рассмотреть что-то.

7 — 8 недель

При выкидыше на сроке беременности около восьми недель многие женщины описывают ткань похожую на «печень». Сгустки и плацента тёмно-красные и очень блестящие. Вы можете найти мешочек и эмбриона в ребенок будет выглядеть почти как «фасоль». Можно даже понять, что у него глаза закрыты, и рассмотреть зачатки рук и ног.

10 недель

При самопроизвольном аборте, который происходит в десять недель, сгустки тёмно-красного цвета и похожи на желе. Среди них вы можете заметить ткань, которая выглядит как пленка, что будет частью плаценты. Если вы отделите сгустки, то, скорее всего, найдете желточный мешочек и увидите сформированный плод внутри жидкости. Он теперь больше похож на ребенка с полностью сформированными руками, ногами, пальцами.

12 недель

Ребенок может выйти в мешочке с жидкостью (плодном яйце), но часто в это время оболочка повреждается, и плодные воды выходят сами по себе. Вы можете заметить, что после сгустков крови, ребенок с пуповиной еще не вышел и находится внутри вас. Затем изгоняется плацента. На этом этапе беременности вы можете даже сказать, был ли ваш ребенок девочкой или мальчиком.

16 — 20 недель

В период с шестнадцатой по двадцатую недели можно наблюдать очень большие сгустки, которые выглядят как «сырая печень». Они также могут быть вокруг ребенка. Кроме того, можно наблюдать кусочки ткани, которые напоминают пленку. В это время вы можете заметить, что из вашего влагалища вытекают воды. Примерно в двадцать недель ребенок полностью сформирован, размером с руку.

Что делать, если вы подозреваете выкидыш

Если вы заметили кровотечение со сгустками, поместите на нижнее белье гигиеническую прокладку. Если потребуется более двух прокладок в час или вы испытываете сильные спазмы, немедленно обратитесь к врачу или в скорую помощь.
Врач посмотрит шейку матки, чтобы узнать, открыта ли она. У вас возьмут кровь на анализ уровня ХГЧ, чтобы узнать срок беременности, а затем повторно проведут анализ, чтобы узнать, поднимается ли его уровень или падает. Если он растет, ваша беременность, скорее всего, прогрессирует, но если снижается – происходит выкидыш. Вам, вероятно, сделают УЗИ, чтобы проверить сердцебиение и убедиться, что это не внематочная беременность.
Если вы подвергаетесь риску выкидыша, то врач может назначить определенное лечение, если в этом он видит смысл. Скорее всего, вас отправят домой и попросят отдохнуть, хотя польза постельного режима не является доказанной. Если кровотечение прекращается, и у вас наблюдаются симптомы беременности, она во многих случаях развивается дальше. Если симптомы беременности внезапно исчезают, при этом начинаются сильные спазмы и выделение сгустков, тогда врач даст возможность произойти выкидышу дома. Доктор может предложить вам принести сгустки и ткани для обследования, если это уже не первый выкидыш.

Опыт других женщин

Взято с зарубежного женского форума о беременности :

Я на 10 неделе беременности и 2 дня назад пошла на УЗИ, потому что выходило немного крови. Они сказали, что мой ребенок умер на сроке 8 недель и 5 дней. Я решила не делать операцию по удалению ребенка, а ждать естественного выкидыша. Меня пугает мысль о том, что я могу увидеть, но смогу ли я на самом деле сказать, что вышел ребенок? У меня был выкидыш 7 лет назад, и я была на 6 неделе беременности, когда он вышел, то выглядел как сгусток крови. Я так расстроена, что у меня случился еще выкидыш, и мне становится хуже от паники каждый раз, когда я иду в туалет, когда вижу что-то.

SallyJW

«Через восемь недель симптомы моей беременности просто исчезли в одночасье. Затем я начала истекать кровью, поэтому позвонила врачу. Он сказал мне отдохнуть, но у меня появились действительно сильные спазмы и выходили довольно большие сгустки. Затем кровотечение внезапно остановилось. Я знала, что у меня произошел выкидыш и мои месячные вернулись примерно через 6 недель. Я смогла зачать ребенка снова, и следующая беременность была успешной».

Кейтлин

«Примерно на 7 неделе у меня началось кровотечение, а затем я увидела два кусочка белой ткани, похожей на резину, размером около сантиметра. Они напомнили мне маленький кусочек сырой курицы. Затем вышел сгусток длиной около пяти сантиметров и ничего больше».

Как происходит выкидыш — пишет Екатерина на BabyBlog

Для многих женщин выкидыш - огромная потеря и трагедия. Но что считается выкидышем? Как происходит выкидыш? Данная статья расскажет о видах самопроизвольного аборта, признаках и методах лечения. Это прерывание беременности до достижения плода жизнеспособного срока развития.

Причинами выкидыша выступают следующие состояния:

• Хромосомные мутации

• Воспаление в слизистой матки, что препятствует прикреплению и нормальному развитию эмбриона

• Иммунологические нарушения

Существуют также следующие факторы риска выкидыша:

- возраст (вероятность выкидыша увеличивается, если женщине более 40 лет)

- если в прошлом у женщины уже были выкидыши

- табакокурение - возрастает вероятность выкидыша в 1 триместре

- недостаток фолиевой кислоты: вероятность потерять ребенка увеличивается с 6 до 12 недели беременности

- нарушения гормонального фона - в большинстве случаев при привычных выкидышах

Какие признаки женщина может у себя обнаружить, когда происходит выкидыш?

Если это угрожающий аборт, выделения будут кровянистыми, скудными, а в пояснице и внизу живота - тянущие боли. Начавшийся аборт: наблюдаются более интенсивные боли и выраженные кровянистые выделения. Цервикальный канал приоткрыт. При выкидыше в ходу наблюдаются постоянные схваткообразные боли, обильные выделения. Частички плода определяются в цервикальном канале и вагине. В более поздние сроки беременности чаще встречается полный аборт. При нем плод покидает матку полностью, а кровянистые выделения прекращаются. Главным симптомом неразвивающейся беременности считаются скудные мажущие выделения.

Что делают врачи при угрозе выкидыша?

Важно остановить кровотечение, расслабить медикаментозно матку, сохранить беременность, если плод жизнеспособен.

Женщину госпитализируют в стационар, где проводится следующая терапия:

• физический и половой покой с постельным режимом

• Рациональная диета

• Гестагены (прогестерон)

• Витамин Е

• Спазмолитики (дротаверин, папаверин)

При неполном аборте выполняют немедленную вакуумаспирацию или выскабливание стенок матки для того, чтобы убрать фрагменты плодного яйца. При полном выкидыше - делают УЗИ и, если обнаруживаются частички плода, проводят выскабливание.

Что делать, если женщине провели выскабливание или вакуумаспирацию?

Прогноз, как правило, благоприятный, но женщине нужно будет придерживаться нескольких правил: в течение 2 недель не использовать тампоны и соблюдать половой покой.

Когда можно планировать беременность?

Врачи рекомендуют планировать беременность женщине не раньше, чем через 3-4 месяца после прерывания беременности.

Выкидыш на ранних сроках: своевременное диагностирование и предупреждение

В последнее время в медицинской практике участились случаи преждевременного прерывания беременности на ранних сроках. Выкидыши на сроке до 12 недель случаются у огромного количества женщин, причем многие из них даже не подозревают о случившемся, так как задержка бывает всего в пару дней. Какие симптомы подскажут девушке о случившемся выкидыше:

1. Задержка месячных. Женщины со стабильным циклом сразу могут понять, что в них зародилась новая жизнь и своевременно диагностировать беременность, то есть предупредить угрозу. У тех женщин, чей цикл всегда скачет, будет намного меньше шансов определить беременность на раннем сроке.
2. Необычные месячные: сильно обильные или наоборот скудные, сопровождающиеся болевыми спазмами или без каких-либо болей. Изменения в характере выделений часто свидетельствуют о неполадках в организме.
3. Выделения со сгустками будут говорить о том, что выкидыш произошел.

Для того чтобы избежать выкидыша, необходимо знать причины, по которым он может произойти. Какие могут быть причины выкидышей, случившихся на ранних сроках? Во-первых, возможно организм матери еще не готов к зарождению в нем новой жизни. Выкидыш может спровоцировать нехватка витаминов и микроэлементов, стрессы, генетическая предрасположенность и многие другие.

Поэтому, перед планированием беременности желательно сдать анализы и восполнить запасы организма силами и положительными эмоциями. Также необходимо обратить внимание на гормональный фон, так как зачастую влияние определенных гормонов мешает правильному развитию беременности. Во-вторых: генетические нарушения у зародившегося эмбриона. К сожалению, на этот фактор невозможно никак повлиять. Считается, что это генетический отбор пригодных к жизни эмбрионов.

Следующей причиной можно назвать инфекции, находящиеся в организме матери, передавшиеся половым путем. Такие инфекции заражают эмбрион и приводят к его гибели на раннем сроке. Не стоит, также, и забывать об истории половой жизни, приеме гормональных лекарств и проделанных абортах - все эти перечисленные факторы отрицательно влияют на благоприятное развитие беременности в организме.

Все вышеперечисленные причины относятся к внутренним факторам. К внешним относятся физическое воздействие (удары, падения, подъем тяжестей) и образ жизни (научиться правильно питаться, исключить курение, ввести в свой распорядок дня умеренное занятие спортом, то есть умеренная физическая активность). Перед тем, как настроиться на беременность, необходимо максимально привести свою жизнь к правильному режиму, питанию и полноценному сну.

Если беременность наступила и существует угроза выкидыша, необходимо соблюдать следующие рекомендации:

1. Обратиться к врачу. Возможно, врач пропишет гормональные лекарства, сохраняющие беременность и гарантирующие ее благоприятный исход.

2. Постельный режим, никаких нагрузок на организм.

3. Избегать стрессов, переживаний, волнений. Только положительные эмоции.

   Психосоматикой врачи называют взаимодействие душевного настроения (психо - по-гречески «душа») и телесного здоровья, то есть взаимосвязь наших переживаний и возможных нарушений (дисфункций) в работе организма. Простой пример, если человек все время переживает, не простудится ли он в демисезонье (время переменчивой погоды, сырости и ветров), и это становится его фобией и постоянной тревогой, вероятность подцепить простуду увеличивается. Хотя бы потому, что организм этого человека постоянно испытывает стресс в виду его фобии, которая сильно подрывает его иммунную защиту. Не случайно медики шутят, что все болезни от нервов.

   Поэтому не стоит страх перед выкидышем делать своей постоянной мыслью и тревогой (способной трансформироваться в фобию). Все наши страхи материальны. Наоборот, настраивайте себя только на положительные эмоции и отличное настроение. Кроме того, что при таком мироощущении каждый день будет в радость, это будет согласно той самой психосоматике огромная поддержка для вашего физического здоровья.

   Лёгких вам родов, спокойного течения беременности и счастливого материнства!

90000 Miscarriage Rates by Week: Causes and Risks 90001 90002 Dr. Kaylen Silverberg, a Texas-based fertility specialist, says miscarriages are very common. 90003 90002 "Women think that when they have one miscarriage, they are doomed to miscarry again," he says. However, the likelihood of having recurrent miscarriages (at least 2 or 3) is low, only occurring in about 1 percent of women. 90003 90002 Studies have shown an increased risk for miscarriage in women who have had recurrent miscarriages in the past.Conversely, some studies indicate that having a successful pregnancy before a current pregnancy may decrease the risk for miscarriage in the current pregnancy. 90003 90002 Several factors have to be accounted for in these cases, however. This includes maternal age and other medical conditions present. Most doctors will begin to investigate for a cause after you have had two to three losses. This will include reviewing your medical history in detail and performing certain tests. 90003 90002 Here are the five most common miscarriage causes.90003 90012 Genetics 90013 90002 When the sperm and egg meet, the cells come together. They then begin to divide to start forming the genetic material that makes up a person. 90003 90002 Each of us is supposed to have 46 total chromosomes. That's 23 from one parent and 23 from the other. If something goes wrong when the cells are dividing, a chromosome may be missing or repeated. 90003 90002 About 50 percent of all first trimester miscarriages are because of chromosomal abnormalities. This can occur more frequently in women who are considered advanced maternal age, or greater than 35 years old at pregnancy term.90003 90012 Infections 90013 90002 Uterus or cervix infections can be dangerous to a developing baby and lead to miscarriage. Other infections that may pass to the baby or placenta can also affect a developing pregnancy and may lead to loss. 90003 90002 Some of these infections include: 90003 90012 Anatomic problems 90013 90002 This refers to defects of the uterus cavity. If a woman's uterus did not form correctly when she was developing, it may be unable to support a healthy pregnancy. 90003 90012 Clotting disorders 90013 90002 Clotting disorders are conditions that cause your body to form more blood clots than normal.Examples include lupus anticoagulant and antiphospholipid syndrome. 90003 90002 In the case of pregnancy, blood clots can form in the placenta. This prevents nutrition and oxygen from getting to the baby-to-be, and prevents waste from being carried away. 90003.90000 Sex in First 12 Weeks of Pregnancy: Miscarriage, Bleeding, More 90001 90002 In many ways, the first trimester of pregnancy is the worst. You're nauseous and exhausted and wildly hormonal, plus pretty anxious about all the stuff that could potentially harm your precious cargo - including having sex, because it seems like basically 90003 everything 90004 is off-limits for those nine long months. 90005 90002 Anxiety about pregnant sex is 100 percent normal, but thankfully your baby is safer in there than you think (yes, even when you're getting busy with your partner).90005 90002 Assuming you can muddle through the first trimester morning sickness and exhaustion long enough to actually 90003 want 90004 to have sex, here's everything you can expect in that department in the early days of pregnancy. 90005 90002 If this is your biggest fear, you're not alone. So let's get right to the good news: In a typical pregnancy, sex is safe throughout all 9 months, including the first trimester. 90005 90002 Unless your healthcare provider has told you 90003 not 90004 to have sex, there's no reason to avoid it - regardless of how far along you are.The muscles surrounding your uterus as well as the amniotic fluid inside it help protect your baby during sex, and the mucus plug at the opening of your cervix prevents germs from passing through. (And no, a penis can not touch or damage your uterus during sex.) 90005 90002 There's a higher chance of miscarriage in general during the first trimester compared with the other trimesters. Sadly, about 10 to 15 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage, with the majority of them happening in the first 13 weeks - but it's important to note that sex is not a cause.90005 90002 About one half of miscarriages happen because of chromosomal abnormalities that develop during fertilization of the embryo - something that has nothing to do with anything you did. Many causes are unknown. 90005 90002 Per the Cleveland Clinic, miscarriages can also be caused by a variety of risk factors, including: 90005 90024 90025 maternal infections and diseases 90026 90025 hormone issues 90026 90025 uterine abnormalities 90026 90025 use of certain medications, like Accutane 90026 90025 some lifestyle choices , like smoking and drug use 90026 90025 reproductive disorders that interfere with fertility, like endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) 90026 90037 90002 You might not feel much like having sex in the early days of pregnancy - and no one could blame you! - but you do not need to avoid sex to limit your chances of miscarriage.90005 90002 There are many reasons why you might experience light bleeding or spotting in the first trimester - and most of them do not have anything to do with the physical act of having sex. 90005 90002 About 15 to 25 percent of pregnant women experience first trimester bleeding - and that statistic does not come with info regarding the sexual activity of those women. 90005 90002 Spotting in the first few weeks can be a sign of implantation of the fertilized egg. If you've been wanting to get pregnant, this is a 90003 good 90004 sign! (It's worth noting, though, that plenty of pregnant women have no implantation bleeding.) 90005 90002 Heavier bleeding may point to issues like placenta previa or an ectopic pregnancy. These conditions are not good news, but they also are not caused by sex. 90005 90002 That said, your cervix is ​​going through some major changes. Pregnancy hormones may make it drier than usual and can even cause the blood vessels to rupture more easily. Sometimes having sex can cause enough irritation in the vagina to result in light bleeding or spotting, which will look pink, light red, or brown. It's normal and should resolve within a day or two.90005 90002 Signs that you should call your doctor? Any bleeding that: 90005 90024 90025 lasts longer than 1 or 2 days 90026 90025 becomes dark red or heavy (requiring you to change pads frequently) 90026 90025 coincides with cramps, fever, pain, or contractions 90026 90037 90002 Sex can be painful throughout pregnancy , not just in the first trimester. For the most part, it's because of totally normal changes happening in your body. Unless you have an infection, here are a few reasons why sex in the first trimester might hurt: 90005 90024 90025 Your vagina is dry because of hormonal changes.90026 90025 You feel like you need to pee or feel added pressure on your bladder. 90026 90025 Your breasts and / or nipples are sore. 90026 90037 90002 If sex is so painful that you're avoiding it, talk to your doctor. There may be an underlying medical cause, or the fix may be as simple as changing positions. 90005 90002 There are two reasons why you might have mild cramping after sex during early pregnancy. Orgasms, which release oxytocin, and semen, which contains prostaglandins, can both cause uterine contractions and leave you with mild cramping for a few hours after sex.(If your partner stimulated your nipples during sex, that can also cause contractions.) 90005 90002 This is completely normal as long as the cramps are mild and resolve shortly after sex. Try to rest and call your provider if they do not go away. 90005 90002 Remember when we said sex during pregnancy was totally safe unless your doctor told you 90003 not 90004 to have it? Sex during pregnancy can lead to contractions, which are temporary and harmless in low-risk pregnancies but can lead to preterm labor or other complications if you have an existing medical condition.90005 90002 Be sure to check with your doctor about whether it's safe to have sex during pregnancy if you have one of the following conditions: 90005 90084 History of miscarriage 90085 90002 The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists defines repeated miscarriage as having had two or more pregnancy losses. About 1 percent of women will experience repeated miscarriage, and in many cases the cause is unknown. 90005 90002 Remember that sex itself does not cause miscarriage, though extra precautions against uterine contractions may need to be taken in high-risk pregnancies.90005 90084 Multiple-birth pregnancy 90085 90002 If you're pregnant with more than one baby, your doctor may put you on pelvic rest in an effort to help you go as close to full term as possible. This means nothing should be inserted into your vagina, and includes abstaining from sex as well as avoiding most vaginal exams. 90005 90002 Pelvic rest is not the same as bed rest. It may or may not include restrictions on having orgasms, so you should make sure you understand your doctor's instructions.(If you need to avoid all sexual activities, there are still ways for you and your partner to be intimate!) 90005 90084 Incompetent cervix 90085 90002 No, this does not mean your cervix is ​​not that smart! An "incompetent" cervix means the cervix has opened too early during pregnancy. 90005 90002 Ideally, your cervix will begin to thin and soften right before you go into labor, so you can deliver your baby. But if the cervix opens too soon, you're at risk for miscarriage and premature delivery.90005 90084 Signs of preterm labor 90085 90002 Preterm labor is when labor starts between the 20th and 37th weeks of your pregnancy. It's unlikely that this would happen in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, but if you're showing signs of labor before week 37, like contractions, backache, and vaginal discharge, your doctor may want you to avoid activities that could advance your labor. 90005 90084 Placenta previa 90085 90002 The placenta typically forms on the top or side of the uterus, but when it forms underneath - placing it directly over the cervix - this creates a condition called placenta previa.90005 90002 If you have placenta previa, you may bleed throughout your pregnancy. You could also bleed excessively during delivery, resulting in hemorrhage. 90005 90002 Whether you need to see your OB-GYN depends on how long you've had symptoms and how severe they are. Mild bleeding, pain, and cramping after sex are all typically normal, especially if they resolve 1 or 2 days after intercourse. 90005 90002 Heavy bleeding, severe pain or cramping, and other signs of infection, like fever, should be reported to your doctor ASAP.And of course, if you have any concerns, call your doctor - even if they do not fall under any of these categories. 90005 90002 Sex during the first trimester is not always comfortable or pleasant (what about pregnancy is ?!), but unless you're at risk for complications, it 90003 is 90004 safe. If you have a pregnancy-related medical condition, do not be afraid to ask your doctor exactly what sexual activities are allowed. 90005.90000 15 Things To Know About The 12th Week Rule And Miscarriage 90001 90002 Why are we expected to keep the first trimester a secret? How did this come to be? Will the stigma end? 12 weeks, 3 full months, and entire one third of the pregnancy are still commonly shrouded as the secret trimester. Is that because, according to the medical community, we are not yet experiencing a legitimate pregnancy ?! That somehow, if we do experience such a dreadful loss at this time, it is less meaningful than a later term miscarriage? 90003 90002 Of course the first 12 weeks are legitimate! We are carrying and growing a tiny human being.Just because it is not visible does not mean that it is not viable. For many women the news of a pregnancy comes long before the onset of this ridiculous 12 week rule. And for what reason should anyone be expected to hide their joy, anxieties, fears, discoveries, milestones ... or even their morning sickness? 90003 90002 Every woman has the right to openly experience her pregnancy, in each moment, fully embracing all that these iconic days mean.Rejoicing when she passes the hurdle and grieving when she does not. She should not feel isolated and alone, separated from so many others who have been there, too. This is a time to bond with society, with our own common human race. We know what the 12 week signifies; does that mean we need to cover it up before then. 90003 90008 15 The Misconception 90009 90010 90002 The widely held stigma from doctors is that first trimester miscarriages are no big deal, commonplace events that many women experience at least once in their childbearing years.Our society often suggests that women should shrug it off and move on, forget about it and 'try again' soon. What kind of advice is this for someone who is shattered and broken and empty? This is someone who has just lost a child, a soul, a person that she has already dreamed about, hoped for, and loved. It is not the same thing as being denied a promotion or being out-bid on your first house. This is not an inanimate loss. This is pregnancy, a baby, a part of who we are ... forever. Women should be encouraged to grieve, be given the time to mourn, and offered the support appropriate for the catastrophic even that it is.90003 90008 14 Professional Barriers 90009 90010 90002 Women often feel that it is unprofessional to speak up about early pregnancy.Some fear that knowledge of the pregnancy will make them look weaker, less fit for their job, or even less goal oriented in their field. Sometimes they worry that their bosses and coworkers will suddenly see them in a new light, as less able than others to fulfill their job titles or to rise the corporate ladder. For this reason, women commonly struggle through the first trimester in secrecy, avoiding the news until it is already obvious. But, those of us who have been there know that reality could not be farther than the truth.90003 90002 Through our pregnancies we often become stronger, more capable, more driven than ever before. So, why is it again, that this stigma has not ended? Bosses should know by now, that decades of women who have successfully hidden their morning sickness, is proof of just how determined we are! 90003 90008 13 Cultural Transgressions 90009 90010 90002 This 12 week rule is far reaching, crossing all aspects of our lives from our doctors, to our bosses, to our own family and friends.But, in our closest inner circles, revealing the big news is not quite as taboo. Right after the father, we have a small list of people who 90024 must 90025 be clued in. Many of us are quick to call our Mom, sister, or best friend the second we get that blissful double blue line. But, things get a bit iffy when tragedy strikes and suddenly a miscarriage can mean sudden isolation. 90003 90002 Most people just do not know what to say or do or how to help, so they just stay away.And many women are left once again, empty handed, with few people they can turn to in their great time of grief. It seems so unnecessary when so many others have been there, too. Why are not we better at supporting each other when one of us gets bad news? 90003 90008 12 Superstition 90009 90010 90002 Sometimes we hear that keeping early pregnancy news to ourself is more about luck than medicine at all.As if somehow we can jinx ourselves and the health of our baby, by speaking up too soon. "Hush", people will tell you, it's bad luck to talk about the baby. Or do not buy clothes before it's 'confirmed'. But, it probably is not coincidence that this bashfulness is closely linked with the 12 week rule. Usually after the first trimester has passed, no one is telling you to hide the big news. But, these superstitions are somewhat understandable, as the cause of miscarriage is relatively unknown. 90003 90002 Generations before us, have tried to find ways to prevent a loss, or even more to prevent a connection before we know if our baby will beat the odds.But, Mommy-dom does not work that way, and no matter what others say, you'll still think about, talk about, and probably even shop for your precious baby from that first moment on. You can not help it. 12 weeks means nothing, and a positive test is a positive test no matter how far along you are. 90003 90008 11 So, What Are The Odds? 90009 90010 90002 Since everyone is so worried about miscarriage in the first trimester, maybe we should know, just exactly what it is that we should be so concerned for? From the March of Dimes, these are the numbers: as many as 50% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.If the numbers seem high, that is because these also account for the very early miscarriages that women are not even aware of. 90003 90002 A quarter of all miscarriages happen before a period is even missed, and often the woman never knows.But, 15-25% of known pregnancies will also end in miscarriage, and 80% of those will happen in the first trimester. Those are some pretty big numbers, meaning that after a positive pregnancy test, as many as 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Most but not all pregnancy losses; do in indeed happen before the 12 week "safety" period has ended. 90003 90008 10 Early Confirmation 90009 90010 90002 There a few things that happen in this 12 week period that can give you hope for a successful first trimester, and remaining pregnancy, too.The first is obviously the pregnancy test. A blood test can come back positive 3-4 after implantation. A urine test can come back positive as early as 4-5 days after implantation, but in most women urine tests will not come back positive until 2-3 weeks later. The first prenatal appointment is usually between 6-8 weeks pregnant, when your doctor will try to confirm a heart beat by sound. Sometimes it can not be heard, but can be also be found visually by ultrasound. This ultrasound usually takes place at 12 weeks.This is when, visual and auditory confirmation let you know that your baby is alive and okay. It is very likely that is where the stigma comes in, when this ultrasound gives validation that the pregnancy has survived the first trimester. 90003 90008 9 More About The 12 Week Scan 90009 90010 90002 At this appointment, you will get to see your baby on the screen for the first time, and you will probably get your first photo, too.Your doctor will spend some time looking at your baby and taking measurements. He or she will be looking for obvious signs of life as well as for evidence of normal development and multiple babies. The placenta, your uterus and fallopian tubes will also be examined to check for any possible issues. If everything looks okay, your doctor will send you on your way with pamphlets about pregnancy and the first memories of your little one. Many women treat this appointment as a social milestone, a time when they tell all their friends and family that they are expecting, and usually their boss, too.Even though pregnant woman have likely being 90024 feeling 90025 pregnant for weeks, the success of the scan makes it more real, that parenthood is right around the corner. 90003 90008 8 Receiving Other News 90009 90010 90002 Not all 12 weeks scans turn out perfectly, and sometimes they sadly do not go as planned at all.But, for some reason, none of us hear much about what might go wrong or what happens when it does. For the most part, we don't know unless it happens to us. Sometimes the 12 week ultrasound reveals an ectopic pregnancy, no heartbeat, and abnormalities or deformities. Ectopic pregnancies require termination. If the baby is alive but with serious problems; you will be asked to consider if you want to continue with the pregnancy. A no heart beat reveal, usually in combination with an underdeveloped fetus, indicates that the baby is no longer alive.If the baby is not alive, this is referred to as a missed miscarriage or a silent miscarriage. For some reason the body has not recognized the death of the fetus. You will then have to make a decision to wait for the miscarriage to happen naturally, or to receive medical intervention to promote the process. Silent miscarriages happen in about 1% of pregnancies. 90003 90008 7 Miscarriage Before The Scan 90009 90010 90002 If there is going to be a first trimester miscarriage, odds are that it will happen before the 12 week ultrasound.Doctors say that the vast majority of these miscarriages are random, isolated events with no definitive cause. It is so common that many health workers refer to it as a natural part of the reproductive process, and that it does not indicate future miscarriages or pregnancy complications. Regardless of how early it is, most women still want to know why or what caused the miscarriage, especially so when it occurred before the ultrasound could show evidence of a problem. Experts say that around 60% of these early miscarriages occur when there is a chromosomal abnormality.This means that for some reason, when the sperm and egg combined, they did not match up correctly and resulted in an abnormality that caused the miscarriage. Other miscarriages occur because of: problems with the cervix or the uterus, immune disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, bacterial infections, or lifestyle issues like cigarette use, alcohol, drugs, or environmental toxins. 90003 90008 6 Stuff That Does not Cause Miscarriage 90009 90010 90002 There are many myths out there about things that might cause miscarriage.Most of the common beliefs are untrue. One important aspect to take note of: it is almost never the mother's fault unless a true lifestyle issue came into play. Usually there is nothing to can do to prevent it, or to alter the likelihood of it happening. Just to clear it up: exercising during pregnancy does not lead to miscarriage, neither does lifting heavy objects, having sex, or falling. Even car accidents usually do not cause miscarriage. Occasionally one of these factors might influence a pregnancy loss, but typically in combination with other factors that already put the pregnancy at risk.Even exposure to bad deli meat and litter boxes probably would not cause a miscarriage, and only in rare cases might cause a pregnancy complication. However, a pregnancy loss could result from a serious infection or illness in the mother, including toxoplasmosis or listeriosis. Still, the chances of that are relatively unlikely. 90003 90008 5 Signs Of A Miscarriage 90009 90010 90002 Some women do not experience any symptoms of miscarriage at all.Others experience spotting, but that can be a tricky one. For some women spotting is common in a healthy pregnancy and for others it is not. Experts say that spotting should never be considered normal though, and you should always call your doctor if you experience any. Other signs might be cramping or back ache. These can be caused by contractions as the body tried to expel the contents of the lost pregnancy. Also changes in the vaginal mucus could be a bad sign. White to pink discharge or the passing of clots or tissue are reported.Sometimes this happens after the cramping and back aches. Some women might not feel pain or discomfort, but instead an abrupt dismissal of their pregnancy symptoms. If you have been experiencing nausea, fatigue, vomiting or other signs of morning sickness- that suddenly stop; there could be reason for concern. 90003 90008 4 Can I Stop The Miscarriage? 90009 90010 90002 Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to stop the progress once it has begun.For some reason, your body has determined that the fetus is not fit for continued life. As awful as it is, it is better to acknowledge nature's course and to work towards recovery. The process may not be easy, but it may be helpful to know that once the symptoms of miscarriage begin, the fetus has usually already been deceased for a week or more. It is unlikely that you are experiencing the actual moments of death, but instead that your body is preparing to discard the remains. Usually the body can complete the miscarriage on its own without complication, but you'll still need medical consultation.It is critical that you see your doctor immediately upon the onset of miscarriage symptoms. Failure to do so could result in hemorrhaging or severe infection. 90003 90008 3 How Long Does A Miscarriage Take? 90009 90010 90002 Once it is revealed that a miscarriage is in progress, many women wonder how long it will last.Experts say that it varies greatly from pregnancy to pregnancy, but that the process can last anywhere from 1 day to 3 weeks. The average woman experiences the symptoms of the miscarriage for two weeks, unless medical intervention is used to aid in the progress. Early on, if the embryo is absorbed into the body, the woman may not experience any bleeding at all. For others, the bleeding and cramping can be intense and similar to or worse than the symptoms of labor. Sometimes a D & C is used to help open the cervix and forcefully remove the tissue.After such a procedure, most women continue to bleed for around a week, similar to a heavy period. The next regular period with resume about 4-6 weeks later and will likely be heavier than usual. 90003 90008 2 Can I Get Pregnant Again? 90009 90010 90002 Probably.Most women, in fact 85% of those who experience a known miscarriage, go on to get pregnant again. The fact that you got pregnant once, gives you great odds that you will be able to conceive again in the future. It is natural for some women to want to get pregnant again right away, but it is important to wait until you are both physically and emotionally ready. Allow yourself the time for experience heartache and recovery. Medically, it is possible to get pregnant in the first cycle after your miscarriage and but it is considered safe to do so after at least 2 or 3 regular menstrual cycles.Some physicians recommend waiting much longer, 6 months to a year, for full emotional recovery. But, others say that such a delay is not necessary. It is largely a personal choice for a couple to decide when they are ready to try again. 90003 90008 1 Will I Have Another Miscarriage? 90009 90010 90002 The answer is complicated and depends on a few variables, but there is no reason to assume that because you have had one miscarriage you will have another.Most women, who experience a miscarriage, go on to have a healthy subsequent pregnancy. Usually a pregnancy loss is a onetime occurrence, but the risk of a second one is about 14%. The odds continue to increase as the miscarriages do. After two miscarriages, the odds of a third are about 26%. If a woman has two or more consecutive miscarriages, doctors might recommend testing before attempting again. Is it possible that there are underlying reasons why it is not possible for a certain woman or for a certain couple, to carry a pregnancy to term.Sometimes blood tests, chromosomal tests, or uterine procedures may reveal previously unknown reasons. Other times, the results do not reveal anything at all and there is still reason to hope for a successful pregnancy in the future. 90003 90002 Sources: Mayo Clinic, Huffington Post, Web MD, Baby Center, Baby Med, NHS, Fertility Authority, Fit Pregnancy, Parenting, Parents Magazine, New Kid Center 90003 90010 90002 90099 Next 10 Sneaky Hacks For Creating Some Alone Time For Yourself As A New Mom 90100 90003 90099 About The Author 90100 90002 Parenting and Family Travel Writer.Mother of the overlanding family at 8 Duffels & 2 Mutts.

The Daily Miscarriage Probability Chart calculates the probability of miscarriage or, conversely, the probability of not miscarrying, given how far a woman is in her pregnancy. The underlying model can also account for added risk factors like maternal age, weight, the number of previous miscarriages and the number of previous live births. 90005 90004 The miscarriage probability table displays the probability of a miscarriage occurring on or after a given point in pregnancy.You can therefore find the day-specific odds, or the odds between two points in time, by subtracting the probability associated with date from another. For example, if the model gives the probability of a miscarriage occurring on or after 4 weeks, 0 days is as 25.2%, and the probability of a miscarriage occurring on or after 4 weeks, 1 day as 24.4%, then the probability of a miscarriage occurring at exactly 4 weeks, 0 days is 25.2-24.4 or 0.8%. Probabilities in the table are rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, so very small probability differences between two dates may not be noticeable in the table.90005 90004 90009 Take the Probabilities With You 90010 90011 Want to bookmark the Miscarriage Probability Chart with all it's data so you do not have to keep re-entering your maternal info it day after day? 90011 Click here to get a parameterized URL. 90005 90004 90009 Determining how far along you are 90010 90011 Weeks refers to gestational weeks. If you've had a 1st trimester ultrasound (sometimes referred to as a dating ultrasound) your doctor may have given you a due date and gestational age that differs from those calculated from last menstrual period (LMP).Some women also track ovulation, which may give them yet another possible gestational age. Gestational age estimated from the dating ultrasound will be the most accurate, followed by gestational age based on ovulation and finally gestational age based on LMP. Still not sure how far along you are? Try the Pregnancy Week By Week Calendar which will give you gestational age based on LMP, ovulation or due date. 90005 90019 90004 90009 About the model 90010 90011 Miscarriage is clinically defined as pregnancy loss before 20 weeks gestation.That is the definition we are using as well. This page calculates the cumulative probability of pregnancy loss from a given point in pregnancy through 20 weeks gestation. 90005 90004 The underlying model for this site is derived using meta analysis of the following peer reviewed papers on miscarriage. The model can be be used without additional input, or can be adjusted with any combination of maternal age, height / weight (BMI), number of previous miscarriages and number of previous births inputs.Each variable is modeled separately, assumed to be independent and assumed to affect the probability of miscarriage uniformly over time. These assumptions are likely overly strong, as there are likely confounding variables, but is the most reasonable approximation in the absence of additional data. 90005 90027 90028 [1] Tong, S., Kaur, A., Walker, SP, Bryant, V., Onwude, JL, and Permezel, M.

We've put together a summery of best practices when approaching research papers about miscarriage so that you can get the most out of them.90005 90019 90004 90009 Have questions about the model or tool? 90010 90005 90004 Probability models can often behave in unintuitive ways. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have. Below are some of the questions I most often receive. 90005 90004 90009 What about missed miscarriages? 90010 90011 A missed miscarriage (also sometimes referred to as a silent or delayed miscarriage) is when fetal death occurs without symptoms. The above cited papers report the percentage of women with a confirmed viable pregnancy at a certain gestation who experience fetal death before 20 weeks.This study design allows for the inclusion of missed miscarriages without the need to estimate precisely when the miscarriage occurred. Missed miscarriages are included in the above papers, and, as a result, in our derived model as well. 90005 90004 90009 What about heartbeat? 90010 90011 Heartbeat is a latent variable in our model. It's modeled indirectly rather than explicitly, which is in keeping with the cited papers above. 90005 90004 90009 Why not include stillbirth data? 90010 90011 Miscarriage and stillbirth are two different types of loss with different sets of causes and risk factors.Most importantly (for modelling purposes) the per-week risk of stillbirth actually increases later in pregnancy, around the time of birth. In order to model cumulative risk of all types of pregnancy loss, including stillbirth, effectively, we'd need to estimate pregnancy length, which we can do but would introduce additional uncertainty and decrease accuracy. 90005 90066 90067 90068 This website is intended for general information & entertainment purposes only.
