A new study reveals that it is no longer dangerous to get pregnant again shortly after having a miscarriage. This new finding disproves the World Health Organization's advice that it is safer to get pregnant again six months after a miscarriage. Their study was only based on one case.
The study, according to LiveScience.Com shows that having another miscarriage after the first one is very minimal. After two miscarriages, though, the stakes are higher. What is more critical is conceiving at a more advanced age, with problems of complications of preeclampsia, diabetes, and many other risks. Also, problems in pregnancy are more prevalent in women who have diabetes, or high blood pressure.
So it is now safe to get pregnant again even in only two or three months after an accidental spontaneous abortion, as women are more fertile in this period. It is really up to the couple if they have gotten over the first loss, as some people could not easily recover from losing a baby.
How often do women have miscarriages?
A miscarriage usually happens only once in women. Statistics show that about 10-20% confirmed pregnancies end up in the 20th week of pregnancy. It could be a fetus that did not grow in a typical manner. About half of it is attributed to chromosomal defects. It is usually helpful to have a blood test to get a reliable blood profile to assess readiness for conception. Find helpful tips from MayoClinic.Com.
Why do women have miscarriages?
Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. Many miscarriages occur because the fetus isn't developing normally. And problems with the baby's chromosomes are responsible for about 50 percent of early pregnancy loss. Most of these chromosome problems occur by chance as the embryo divides and grow - not because of health problems inherited from the parents.
Sometimes a health condition, such as poorly controlled diabetes or a uterine problem, might lead to miscarriage. Often, however, the cause of miscarriage isn't known.
