The main reasons for gestational loss






There are many circumstances that cause the loss of a pregnancy, mainly in the first trimester of pregnancy, stage of greater fetal development. We review the 8 most frequent.
Vote:

he first weeks after conception. While the cause may not always be known, many factors of gestational loss are well known. We review them.
When the problem is of the fetus

Most early miscarriages come from a malformation in the genes or chromosomes of the fetus. They are usually the result of errors in cell division, an enormously complex process that occurs at high speed. These anomalies have nothing to do with the genes of the parents, they are the product of chance.

1. Intrauterine fetal death. It may happen that, because of these genetic abnormalities, the fetus dies inside the uterus although the development of the placenta and the membranes are correct.

2. Molar pregnancy. Also known as gestational trophoblastic disease, the molar pregnancy comes from an abnormality in the formation of the placenta that occurs at the time of conception. This placenta grows at a great rate and becomes a mass of cysts. There may or may not be an embryo that, in any case, will not develop correctly.

3. Ovum void. It is the cause of almost half of the abortions that occurred before the 12th week of pregnancy. The fertilized egg develops in placenta and membranes but there is no embryo.

4. Ectopic pregnancy. Instead of implanting in the uterine wall, the fertilized egg does so in the fallopian tube making pregnancy unfeasible.
When the cause is of the mother

5. Some diseases of the mother can original abortion. The most frequent are:

    Diabetes poorly controlled.
    Thyroid diseases
    Infections
    Hormonal problems
    Uterine abnormalities.
    Cervical problems

6. Maternal age is another factor to consider.

    As of age 35, the risk of abortion is 20%.
    At 40 years old it is almost 40%.
    At age 45, it reaches 80%.
    Paternal age can also influence. Some studies indicate that the risks increase after 35 years.

7. Toxic agents. It is well known that women who smoke, drink alcohol or drugs during pregnancy are at greater risk of having an abortion.

8. Invasive tests. Certain tests of prenatal diagnosis such as amniocentesis or chorionic biopsy carry a small risk of gestational loss that is around 1%.
They do not cause abortion

As a general rule, no daily activity performed in a normal context causes an abortion. You can, without fear:

    Do moderate physical exercise and do not risk falls.
    Have sex with your partner. They will recommend you to suspend them if there is a risk of abortion.
    Lift weight. Try to do it in moderation to avoid back pain.
    To work. As long as it does not involve an exposure to toxic substances or leads to physical exhaustion.
