WhitneySigns of Miscarriage in the Second Trimester
April 5th 2010 19:45
Miscarriage is most common in the first trimester of a pregnancy, but that doesn't mean that it cannot happen during the second or third trimesters. Common causes of a miscarriage during the second trimester can include:
* Abdominal trauma
* Cervical insufficiency or very early preterm labor
* Congenital birth defects
* Infections
* Problems with the placenta
* Thrombophilia disorders
* Unknown causes
Sometimes you will never know why you miscarried, but if you have a miscarriage during weeks 12 through 20, you want to consult your doctor for early monitoring if you decide to try to get pregnant again. You want to make sure that everything goes smoothly, and if the doctor was able to determine the cause of the miscarriage, try to prevent it from happening again.
During the second trimester, watch for signs of miscarriage, which can include:
* Complete loss of all pregnancy symptoms
* Bleeding - usually heavy and bright red (brown blood does not necessarily indicates complication)
* Severe cramping
* Vomiting and/or diarrhea
* Passing tissue or gray-ish matter
* Abdominal trauma
* Cervical insufficiency or very early preterm labor
* Congenital birth defects
* Infections
* Problems with the placenta
* Thrombophilia disorders
* Unknown causes
