Miscarriage (Spontaneous Abortion)
by Alike Medical Team ∙ Updated on June 13, 2023
Miscarriage, also known as pregnancy loss or spontaneous abortion, is the loss of a pregnancy before the fetus reaches the stage of viability, typically before 20 weeks of gestation. It is a deeply emotional and challenging experience for those who go through it.

The physical and emotional toll of a miscarriage can vary from person to person. Physically, it may involve symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, cramping, and passing of tissue. Emotionally, it may lead to feelings of grief, sadness, guilt, and a sense of loss.
Miscarriages can occur due to various reasons, including chromosomal abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, maternal health conditions, uterine abnormalities, or external factors.
The grieving process following a miscarriage is unique to each individual, and support from loved ones, healthcare professionals, or support groups can be instrumental in navigating the emotional journey.
