Understanding Miscarriage

Understanding Miscarriage

A miscarriage is a pregnancy that ends spontaneously before 20 weeks of pregnancy, when the fetus has no chance of living independently outside the womb. After 20 weeks, pregnancy loss is considered a stillbirth. A pregnancy is most vulnerable during weeks 7 to 13 and repeated first-term miscarriages most commonly occur during this timeframe. Once the egg (ovum) is fertilized, the corpus luteum (yellow body) in the ovary secretes ever increasing levels of the hormone progesterone to maintain the pregnancy until the placenta is large enough to take over production. This is the critical period for sustainability of the pregnancy and the danger time if progesterone production from the corpus luteum does not keep pace with the requirements of the growing fetus. If the placenta does not produce sufficient progesterone to pick up the progesterone shortfall from the corpus luteum the placenta will become unstable and begin to breakdown resulting in miscarriage.

This booklet explains miscarriage and the vital role the hormone progesterone plays in preparing the uterus pre-pregnancy, prevention of miscarriage and much more.
