class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scientifically,\nmiscarriage is the death of a fetus in the womb before 20 weeks of pregnancy.<\/strong> Up to 15% of the miscarriages occur before the 12th week of pregnancy.\nThe remaining 5% occur in the 2nd trimester(between weeks 13 to 19). Women may\nunknowingly suffer from one- without knowing about their <a href=\"https:\/\/gaintrial.com\/en\/how-to-have-sex-for-pregnancy\/\"><strong>pregnancy<\/strong><\/a>.\n<strong>About 20% of pregnancies result in a miscarriage- around one in five.<\/strong>\nBut, the reasons for the miscarriage may vary individually- from person to\nperson.<a href=\"#_ftn3\">[3]<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chromosomes\"><\/span>Chromosomes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Around 50% of\nall miscarriages occur due to chromosome issues.<\/strong>\nChromosomes are intracellular structures that consist of genes. There are 23\npairs of chromosomes within each person. <strong>Each pair consists of genetic\ninformation that makes a person unique- one from the mother and the other from\nthe father.<\/strong> Miscarriage occurs when there is a wrong number of chromosomes-\nwhich occurs by chance and not by heredity.<a href=\"#_ftn4\">[4]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chromosome issues\nthat may be responsible for pregnancy miscarriage include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Blighted ovum<\/strong>: Embryo fails to grow into a\nbaby- despite being implanted inside the uterus. Symptoms include dark-brown\nbleeding at the onset of pregnancy.<\/li><li><strong>Intrauterine fetal demise<\/strong>: The embryo stops growing\nand dies.<\/li><li><strong>Molar Pregnancy<\/strong>: The uterus tissue changes\ninto a tumor at the onset of pregnancy.<\/li><li><strong>Translocation: <\/strong>Part of a chromosome transfer\nand attaches itself to another one.

Some of the noted problems\nare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Septate Uterus<\/strong>: A tissue(septum) divides the\nuterus into two segments. Doctors recommend surgery before trying to get\npregnant to reduce the chances of miscarriage in this congenital uterine\nabnormality(meaning you are born with it).<\/li><li><strong>Asherman Syndrome<\/strong>: Scars tissues that damage\nthe inner linings of the uterus(endometrium). The recommended treatment\nprocedure usually includes hysteroscopy- used to remove the scars.<a href=\"#_ftn5\">[5]<\/a><\/li><li><strong>Fibroid inside the Uterus<\/strong>: Can limit space for\nthe embryo to grow and also interrupt the blood supply. The surgical removal\nprocedure is known as myomectomy.<\/li><li><strong>Incompetent Cervix<\/strong>: The cervix dilates much\nbefore the usual stage. The dilation often occurs without any pain or\ncontractions- leading to miscarriage, usually in the second trimester.
