Miscarriage in medical terms more commonly known as abortion. This term shows the expenditures of conception / fertilization until the age of 20 weeks or weighing less than 500 grams. The process may take a spontaneous abortion or artificial.
Spontaneous abortion due to many factors, namely:
1. Maternal factors (trauma and diseases in women: infections, hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, smoking, consumption of alcohol and drugs)
2. Factors fetus (chromosomal abnormalities)
3. Environmental factors (pollutants, radiation)
4. Abnormalities of genes / chromosomes. Approximately 60-70% miscarriages occur because the sperm chromosomes are not in accordance with the chromosomes of eggs so that the fetus does not develop or develop abnormally. Miscarriage is the body’s way to end a pregnancy is not perfect.
5. Disorders and infectious content. Embryo fetus needs a suitable place to grow. Deformity or infection in the womb can cause a miscarriage because the embryo fails to stick.
6. Immunity. Maternal blood cells can form antibodies that prevent the normal development of the placenta.
7. The opening of the cervix. At the age of further pregnancy, the cervix opening too soon (before the time of delivery) can cause miscarriage.
8. Blood clotting (blood clotting). Some pregnant women have abnormal thrombosis (blood clotting) that prevents the formation of blood vessels of the placenta.
9. Other causes. Hormonal disorders, uncontrolled diabetes, smoking, alcoholic beverages and a variety of parasites can also cause miscarriage.

Based on maternal factors that most often leads to abortion is infection. In accordance with the natural mother’s complaint that the cause of the possibility of abortion is an infection of the genitals. But it might also be influenced by factors other. Infection in the vagina / vaginitis in pregnancy is associated with the occurrence of abortion or premature partus.

Various kinds of infections of the vagina, namely:
1. Vaginal infections due to bacteria / bacterial vaginosis. Unbalance caused by bacteria in the vaginal ecosystem. Usually marked by a whitish watery and smelly / fishy.

2. Vaginal infections due trikomonas / Trichomonas vaginitis. Caused by parasites that berflagela the trikhomonas. Vaginal discharge caused so many, purulent, foul-smelling and accompanied by intense itching.

3. Vulva and vaginal infections due to fungi / Vulvovaginal candidiasis. The cause of candida albicans is 85 to 90 percent of vaginal yeast infections. Predisposisinya factor is the use of antibiotics in pregnancy and diabetes mellitus. Discharge happens very peculiar cheese powder and very itchy. When you travel with chronic illness can cause pain and heat.

4. Infections due to inflammatory processes in the vaginal / inflammatory vaginitis. The exact cause is unknown. Symptoms caused a lot of vaginal discharge, purulent and cause symptoms of irritation / hot on the vulva and vagina with pelvic pain.

Given the many factors that lead to abortion, the mother should be checked out to be known for certain causes of abortion in the mother, so get the right treatment to prevent recurrent abortion in subsequent pregnancies.

Some of the signs of miscarriage include:
1. Bleeding from the birth canal accompanied by cramping or pain in the middle of the lower abdomen.
2. The pain intensified and continued for several days
3. Bleeding quite a lot, like when you are menstruating. It could be also just a rash but continued for more than three days.
4. Cramping pain in the lower abdomen.
5. The release of solids from the vagina.
6. The release of fluid without bleeding or pain, possibly because of the loose membrane content.

see signs above and doctors concluded a miscarriage, so we had agreed the mother was having a miscarriage.

80% of miscarriages are caused by genetic factors, namely the number of chromosomes due to discrepancy between husband and wife. For this we can not avoid, this is a law of nature and natural factors the death of the womb, for this reinforce our prayers, may not experience it.
Other causes are hormonal factors, can the hormone prolactin that are too high or too low progesterone. for this may be done hormone therapy.
Other causes are infections, such as TORCH virus, HIV, Hepatitis etc.. for this should be done before pregnancy blood test used to believe are completely free of the virus.

Additional most try to rest sufficiently, consumption of nutritious food, mothers do not get too tired, avoid stress, healthy lifestyles and call your doctor immediately if you experience bleeding or pain in lower abdomen

One in four pregnant women at risk of miscarriage, according to medical experts note, so do not overlooked this miscarriage risk, especially if this your first pregnancy. Every pregnant woman can minimize the risk of miscarriage, one of them by avoiding the cause.

Here are some causes of miscarriage myths you should know:

Sex. ”Pregnant women should not have sex on the first 12 weeks of pregnancy”, so many obstetricians advise. When in fact there are no medical studies that prove the sexual relations cause a miscarriage. So long as it does not hurt and does not cause discomfort, so be it.

Sports. Regular exercise in portions during pregnancy good enough for you and your baby. There is absolutely no risk of miscarriage, as long as you’re not too tired to do it. But you should not start a new sport you’ve never done at the time before pregnancy.

Air travel. There is no evidence that mention traveling on the plane cause a miscarriage, whether short or long trip.

Ultrasound examination. Many mothers fear ultrasound tests – including an ultrasound to check fetal development in the womb, because never heard ultrasound can cause a miscarriage. Actually not proven ultrasound can increase the risk of miscarriage, though indeed, some women who undergo an ultrasound several times during her pregnancy had given birth the babies are left-handed.

Sauna. A study in the 1970s sauna associate with a number of problem pregnancies, is the greatest risk of miscarriage. But this study confirmed no further. However, to prevent the fetus in the womb suffer from excessive heat. Sauna should be limited to only 10 minutes, and should avoid water that is too hot.

Coffee. Studies indicate if pregnant women drink more than six cups of coffee, tea, or cola per day, eat a higher risk of miscarriage. Therefore also the body naturally often sort themselves by “refusing” coffee in the first weeks of pregnancy.

X-rays. One-time examination with X-rays or X-rays during pregnancy will not cause a miscarriage, cause problems in pregnancy, or harmful to the fetus. However, doctors are usually very careful in the use of X-rays in pregnant women, and never recommending a series of X-ray therapy in pregnant women before the age of 8 weeks of pregnancy.

Using Computers. If the mother works with computers, do not have to worry about radiation monitors cause a miscarriage. The study was undertaken intensive and detail have shown there is no relationship between computer use with miscarriage or other labor problems, even though you all day typing on the keyboard once.

Use of Microwave and Oven. Recently there were reports in the media that mention microwave radiation chance of pregnancy problems, but this report is not supported by scientific research. This is well confirmed that there has been no research on similar electronic objects around the radiation pregnant women causes miscarriages.

Pull teeth. If you have patches of copper on your teeth, do not need to remove it during pregnancy for fear of endangering the pregnancy. Copper patches are allocated teeth do not contain mercury, which if exposed to mercury in the body of this amount is said with the risk of miscarriage. Medical experts also recommend that pregnant women not change the types of fillings on the spot

Prevention

As has already been submitted, miscarriage generally occurs without controllable. Mother’s womb strength strong enough to withstand the shock so that a miscarriage because of the trauma (impact) is rare. Also there is no evidence to show the influence of stress and sexual activity of a miscarriage.

If there is threat of miscarriage as bleeding in early pregnancy, prevention efforts may be conducted with adequate rest in a few days, reducing sports activities, and stop having sex in a few weeks. In 50% of cases, the threat of miscarriage can be resolved so as not to continue.

If the threat of miscarriage caused by the premature opening of the cervix, your doctor may be doing the sewing to close up again until such time delivery. Medical and treatment actions are also required when there are abnormalities of the uterus and cervix.

Bleeding during pregnancy, either in the form of spots or lumps, according to doctors from the hospital. MH Thamrin can mean a lot. He explained it by the time of hemorrhage:

* In the first trimester of pregnancy

Bleeding or blood-red vlek means miscarriage.

Miscarriage itself is divided into two; ie, that can still be maintained and that no longer can be maintained. Miscarriage that can still be maintained due to the general conception / fertilization regardless of the uterine wall so that the bleeding, but could eventually come back against the wall of the uterus (at this time that the bleeding will stop). In contrast, the conceptus is loose on abortion can not be maintained, could not stick back and make a pregnancy does not continue.

Suggestion: when finding a spot or vlek in underwear, consult a doctor. Typically doctors will recommend that the mother total rest in bed, no sexual intercourse, taking vitamin supplements, and drugs prescribed to pregnancy can continue.

Blood from the wound in the vagina or birth canal. The cause of injury is usually related to how mothers clean the vagina with discharge medication that is not appropriate that these areas suffered cuts, abrasions and bleeding.

Suggestions: because the mother was pregnant, then do not use any drugs. Although only blisters, wounds located on the needs expert handling that can diagnose the condition of the wound and finding a suitable drug.

* In the second and third trimesters

Vlek, or bleeding that arise in the second and third trimester are usually caused by the location of the placenta or afterbirth is not perfect. As the placenta lies below (placenta previa), low placental location (right on the lip exit the birth canal), placenta lies over but despite (solusio placenta), or the location of the placenta with blood vessels beneath the scattered near the exit the birth canal.

Suggestion: get to the hospital because of bleeding, this one requires immediate action from the doctor. In some cases pregnant women will be treated in hospital while continuing to monitor closely the condition of pregnancy.

Bleeding can also result from rupture of the uterus. Generally occurs during the birth process, which is due to excessive uterine contractions while the birth canal is not ready 100%. It could also be due to stagnate baby born on the street forced out. Rupture can also occur when a pregnancy, especially in women who have had surgery fault. In the former area of operations, a network arises rigid so that when the baby grows, this network breached then bleed.

Tip: consult a doctor immediately. Usually the mother was asked to rest in bed and vitamin therapy. Actions other doctors very dependent on the mother’s condition at that time.

Right Steps to Overcome BLEEDING

We consult vlek case, do not be afraid to come clean. What activities she did before the condition occurs, the handling of what was done, how many times and how long ago it happened. Do not forget to report matters related to bleeding; of color, taste, smell until the conditions the mother’s stomach and vagina.

If the mother reports a full, clear, and in truth, the doctor will be able to immediately determine the review process is considered necessary either by ultrasound to see the condition of the mother’s womb (whether normal or not the placenta), or inspect the blood in the laboratory to determine whether women have blood disorders or not, for example.

For the treatment, of course depending on the case. But usually the doctor will perform some action, such as:

• Asking the mother to break with not much activity until total rest or bedrest. Indeed it is not much help, but far better than not. With bedrest, at least your body can do a good recovery.

• If there is contraction, the doctor will give medicine that can make the uterus relax so that the contraction is lost.

• For bleeding problem that occurs, the doctor will give medicine stopping bleeding.

• Vitamin given to help the body provide sufficient nutrition mother.

• Surely the doctor will ask the mother to not stress, sufficient fluid intake and nutrition of various foods. Mother would be asked to do sexual activity.

Connection with CIGARETTE AND ALCOHOL

As Iqbal, bleeding during pregnancy can be experienced by all pregnant women. But there are certain women a higher risk for experiencing this. Mothers who smoke, for example, twice as likely to experience bleeding. Likewise with the mother drinking alcohol. Even if pregnant women consume alcohol every day, the risk of bleeding may increase three-fold greater.

The solution, there is no other way to avoid this and healthy life. This includes, away from the stress, get enough rest, eating nutritious foods and regular controls to a doctor during pregnancy.

For activities, there is no specific activities that need to abstinence. Quite capable of doing the activities carried out by the mother. If the mother did not feel up, immediately stop the activity being carried out and relax. After getting better, try to remember, why it happened. It is possible, the familiar activities mothers do every day also makes the mother so tired. Cause, condition of the mother was less fit, less intake of nutrients, or the mother less rest.

For couples newly married, pregnancy may be the most eagerly awaited, especially if the couple husband and wife were longing for baby presence in life.

But as a newly married couple, may still lay with the signs of pregnancy that are sometimes a sign that was ignored. There are some things that become common signs of pregnancy come.

Late menstrual

Menstruation experienced by women at least once a month. This menstrual periods vary in each woman; there is the 28-day menstrual period, there was a longer or even shorter. However, regardless of one’s long menstrual periods, in which there must be fertile period, culminating in the day-to-12 to 18.

If you do sexual intercourse during the fertile right, of course, will happen fertilization. Egg fertilization his wife by the husband’s sperm cells will result in a pregnancy, and this will stop menstruating. The delay in the arrival of menstruation or no menstruation for several months is often a sign of pregnancy.

If you experience it, get a pregnancy test done. Consult a doctor, because if there is delay or do not menstruate at all, but not pregnant, there may be abnormalities in the reproductive system.

Nausea

Some women feel morning sickness in early pregnancy, at least at three months (trimester) first. This sickness is thought to be nature’s way to protect the prospective mother and the fetus from toxins that may be contained in the food you eat the mother. Usually this is accompanied by a high appetite too, but after eating again thrown.

Ways to prevent nausea is exaggerated by always providing a snack crackers. Do not forget to also drink plenty of water.

Frequent urination

Once occupied by the fetal uterus of the baby, the mother’s body will experience hormonal changes. With filled uterus by the fetus, the uterus will grow automatically as the development of the fetus. This enlargement of the uterus will put pressure on the bladder causing the bladder as quickly feels full.

The process of pregnancy is a process of growth of the fetus in her womb. Although not visible, but there are ‘activities’ in the mother’s body which causes the mother quickly got tired. This is because the mother’s body there is now ‘additional burden’. That fatigue can be so great that the mother really feel ‘lazy’ to do any activities. This is caused by hormonal changes on the way to 9-month pregnancy.

But, you know guns, a pregnant woman who was resting was working as hard as someone who’s run a marathon?

Emotional changes

As a result of hormonal changes, emotional stability was also affected. A pregnant woman generally experience up and down emotionally, causing her mother often ‘sensitive’ and ‘easy to explode’.
