What are the Warning signs of Miscarriage:
• Spotting or bleeding without pain • Heavy bleeding with severe abdominal pain • A gush of fluid from your vagina but no pain or bleeding What will the doctor want to know? Your doctor will ask you to describe your symptoms. She’ll also want to know whether or not you’ve passed tissue out of your vagina. If you have passed tissue, save it in a sterile container for later examination. How will my doctor be able to confirm a miscarriage? Your doctor will give you an internal pelvic examination. This will determine the size of your uterus and reveal whether your cervix is open. An ultrasound will be performed to confirm whether or not your baby still has a heartbeat. You will also have a blood test to check your hormone levels; decreases in pregnancy hormone levels may indicate that you’ve miscarried. Can miscarriages be prevented? A miscarriage that is about to occur usually can’t be prevented. But you might be able to decrease your chances of miscarrying by taking good care of yourself
