Some myths about miscarriages that often make women afraid

Miscarriages can bring deep sadness to young families who want to have children soon. In fact, a miscarriage can trigger depression because women who experience it are overcome with guilt. A survey conducted in the United States showed that 41% of women with miscarriages feel responsible for the cause, even though this is not entirely true.

Many women feel guilty after a miscarriage because they think they are not relaxed enough, don't eat well, or are too stressed out. Many factors can cause a miscarriage, but they do not know how to prevent it.

According to Jane Frederick, MD, a fertility specialist in Orange County, some of the miscarriages that occur cannot be explained. However, chromosomal abnormalities, health problems and infections can also cause miscarriages.

The following is a miscarriage myth that often makes many women worry when planning their next pregnancy. What are these myths?

Myth 1: If you have a miscarriage, you will see it again

Frederick states that after the first miscarriage, the possibility of the second miscarriage is not greater. Another case if you experience two miscarriages, the risk of subsequent miscarriages becomes slightly greater. It is recommended for people who have miscarried more than once to consult a fertility specialist to plan appropriate pregnancy care.

Myth 2: The presence of spots or bleeding during pregnancy indicates a miscarriage

Experts say bleeding occurs in 20 to 40 percent of pregnant women in the first trimester. In fact, heavy and prolonged bleeding can occur during a healthy pregnancy.

Myth 3: Miscarriages are rare
National surveys conducted in the United States show that respondents believe that miscarriages only occur in about 5% of their residents' pregnancies. However, according to data from the American Pregnancy Association, miscarriages can occur in 10 to 25% of pregnancies in the United States.

Myth 4: After a miscarriage, it is necessary to wait 3 months before planning a pregnancy

A study shows that you can have a healthy pregnancy at any time, even a month after a miscarriage. However, experts advise women to wait until their blood test score (serum beta-hCG) drops to zero before planning another pregnancy. This beta-hCG serum can drop to zero in a few weeks or even a month. However, some doctors recommend waiting longer if the patient has undergone special and different treatments (dilation and curettage) after a miscarriage.

Myth 5: Miscarriage cannot be prevented
Although most of the causes of miscarriage are out of your control, many other causes can be prevented. Experts say smoking is the number one cause of miscarriage that can be prevented. Smoking more than 10 cigarettes a day can increase the risk of miscarriage, while becoming a passive smoker.
