Can I have miscarriage at 12 weeks of pregnancy?

Although pregnancy is a very hard thing, thinking about the baby that will be born in the future will also make people feel very sweet psychologically. During the process of pregnancy, the most undesirable thing is miscarriage, especially after being pregnant for a period of time. When everything is normal, whether it is possible in the future is also a matter of concern to many people. So, will miscarriage occur at 12 weeks of pregnancy?

The spontaneous abortion rate of clinical pregnancy is about 10-15%. In fact, if the "biochemical pregnancy" that cannot be detected clinically is also taken into account, the abortion rate can be as high as 50-60%, or even higher. As age increases, the miscarriage rate of clinical pregnancy will also increase, and the chance of miscarriage at 12 weeks of pregnancy is still quite high.

Causes of miscarriage at 12 weeks of pregnancy

1. Abnormal embryonic development: 50%-60% of embryos with chromosomal abnormalities stop developing after reaching a certain extent, resulting in early spontaneous abortion. A small number of embryos with chromosomal abnormalities may show deformities or functional defects even if they can develop to full term. Therefore, from the perspective of eugenics, abortion is a natural selection that follows the law of survival of the fittest in nature.

2. Pregnant women suffer from systemic diseases: such as acute infectious diseases such as influenza and pneumonia, bacterial toxins or viruses enter the fetus through the placenta and cause fetal death.

3. Nutrition and oxygen cannot reach the fetus, resulting in miscarriage.

4. High fever in pregnant women can cause uterine contractions and lead to miscarriage.

How to avoid miscarriage

1. No violent behavior

In daily life, pregnant women should avoid strenuous exercise, such as carrying heavy objects, standing for long periods of time, and avoiding exerting force on the lower abdomen.

Pregnant women should have a regular life, try to stay in a quiet environment, and not be too nervous. Especially for pregnant women with a history of miscarriage, they should have a stable mood and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

2. Pay attention to health care during pregnancy

Pregnant women should not have sexual intercourse during the first 3 months of pregnancy. If you get sick during pregnancy, you should seek timely treatment, but be careful to use medication reasonably.

3. Nutrient supplementation

Pregnant women with a history of habitual miscarriage, in addition to paying attention to the above matters, should take some vitamin E orally, inject progesterone, take placenta tablets orally, take Chinese medicine pregnancy-protecting pills, etc. to prevent another miscarriage.

On the other hand, you should also undergo a health check-up by a doctor to carefully examine the cause of the miscarriage. Once the cause is identified, you can take symptomatic preventive measures to ensure a smooth delivery.
