Understanding Miscarriage
A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks, and it is more common than many people realise — you are not alone. It can be a very difficult and emotional experience, and it is completely understandable to feel sad, confused, or frightened. Seeing a doctor is important to make sure your body is safe and healing well, and to get the care and support you deserve.
Common Symptoms / Concerns for Miscarriage
Heavy bleeding from the vagina
Cramping or pain in the lower belly
Passing of tissue or blood clots from the vagina
Lower back pain or aching
Nausea or morning sickness suddenly stopping
Breast tenderness going away unexpectedly
Feeling faint or dizzy
Light spotting or brown discharge
When to Seek Professional Care
Book an evaluation with a healthcare provider immediately if you experience or present with:
- Heavy bleeding that soaks more than one pad per hour
- Severe pain in the lower belly that does not go away
- Fever, chills, or foul-smelling discharge — signs of infection
- Feeling faint, collapsing, or unable to stand up
- Pain at the tip of your shoulder, which can be a sign of a serious problem
- Bleeding during pregnancy if you are not sure whether you have miscarried
- You are in a remote area with no easy access to a clinic or hospital
What to Expect During Your Medical Consultation
When you visit the doctor, they will ask you some gentle questions — such as the date of your last period, what symptoms you have been experiencing, and your history of past pregnancies. They will then examine your abdomen and may check your cervix to understand what is happening. They may also send you for an ultrasound scan and some blood tests to make sure you are safe and to guide the best care for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a miscarriage?
Most miscarriages happen because the baby was not developing normally, often due to problems with the chromosomes (the genetic material). Other causes can include health conditions in the mother, such as diabetes, thyroid problems, or infections. In many cases, doctors are not able to find a specific cause, and this is very common.
Can a miscarriage be prevented?
In most cases, a miscarriage cannot be prevented because it is caused by problems with how the baby was developing. However, you can support a healthy pregnancy by attending antenatal care early, eating well, avoiding alcohol and smoking, and managing any existing health conditions. If you have had more than one miscarriage, your doctor can run tests to check for treatable causes.
Is a miscarriage the woman's fault?
No, a miscarriage is not the woman's fault. It is not caused by something you did, said, or thought. Miscarriages are almost always caused by natural problems with the pregnancy that are beyond anyone's control. It is important to be kind to yourself and seek emotional support from loved ones or a health professional.
What treatment options are available for miscarriage?
Treatment depends on how far along the pregnancy was and how your body is responding. Sometimes the body passes the pregnancy on its own without any treatment needed. A doctor may offer medicine to help the process along, or a small procedure to safely remove the remaining tissue. Your health provider will discuss the best option for you and make sure you are comfortable and safe.
Can a woman get pregnant again after a miscarriage?
Yes, most women are able to get pregnant again after a miscarriage. Having one miscarriage does not mean it will happen again — the majority of women go on to have healthy pregnancies. Your doctor can advise you on when it is safe to try again, which is usually after your body has had time to heal.
