miscarriage

Examples of miscarriage in the following topics:

• Introduction to Pregnancy and Human Development

  • The first trimester carries the highest risk of miscarriage (natural death of embryo or fetus).
  • An in-progress pregnancy, as well as abortions, miscarriages, or stillbirths, account for parity values being less than the gravida number.

• The Middle Years

  • Advanced paternal age sharply increases the risk of miscarriage, as well as Down syndrome, schizophrenia, autism, and bipolar disorder.

• Abortion

  • An abortion can occur spontaneously, in which case it is usually called a miscarriage, or it can be purposely induced.
  • The degree of force, if severe, can cause serious internal injuries without necessarily succeeding in inducing miscarriage.

• White-Collar Crime

  • It was sold in the 1950s to a private housing developer, whose residents began experiencing major health problems such as miscarriages and birth defects in the 1970s.
  • It was sold in the 1950's to a private housing developer, whose residents began experiencing major health problems such as miscarriages and birth defects in the 1970's.

• Mexican Painting: Frida Kahlo

  • Kahlo's accident made it impossible for her to have her own children, resulting in several miscarriages throughout her life.
  • She painted Henry Ford Hospital right after her miscarriage in 1932.

• Prenatal Diagnostic Tests

  • Since chorionic villus sampling is performed earlier in the pregnancy than amniocentesis, typically during the first trimester, it can reasonably be expected that there will be a higher rate of miscarriage after chorionic villus sampling than after amniocentesis.
  • Because of the risk of miscarriage and fetal damage associated with amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling procedures, many women prefer to first undergo screening so they can find out if the fetus' risk of birth defects is high enough to justify the risks of invasive testing.

• Anatomical Changes

  • At the beginning of the fetal stage, the risk of miscarriage decreases sharply.
  • Once pregnancy moves into the second trimester, the risks of miscarriage and birth defects drops drastically.

• Halogen Uses

  • In women, hypothyroidism can lead to infertility, miscarriages, and breast and ovarian cancer.

• Infertility

  • Couples with primary infertility have never been able to conceive, while, secondary infertility is difficulty conceiving after already having conceived (and either carried the pregnancy to term or had a miscarriage).

• Contraception and Birth Control

  • Spontaneous termination in the first trimester is referred to as spontaneous abortion, while in the second and third trimesters is referred to as a miscarriage.
