Miscarriage:

Bleeding can be a sign of miscarriage but does not mean that miscarriage is imminent. Approximately half of pregnant women do not have miscarriages. Approximately 15-20% of all pregnancies result in miscarriage, and most occur during the first 12 weeks.

Signs of miscarriage include:

* Vaginal bleeding
* Hindering the pain felt low in the stomach (stronger than menstrual cramps)
* Tissue that passes through the vagina

Most miscarriages can not be prevented. They are often the body’s way of dealing with an unhealthy pregnancy that did not convert. A miscarriage does not mean you can not have a future healthy pregnancy or that you is not healthy.
