Miscarriage: You are not to blame

He spontaneous abortion It is a tough trance that many women have gone through. To the pain for the loss of a son who was on the way adds a great feeling of responsibility. It is inevitable to think that we have done something wrong or that we have not taken enough care of ourselves, perhaps that cup that I should not drink or that medicine even without knowing that I was pregnant ...

Thoughts torment. Also the comments of others that can be very hurtful, but first of all you should know and accept that It is not your fault.

Spontaneous abortion is more frequent than we think. It is believed that half of the conceptions do not reach term, what happens is that many times the pregnancy is lost even before knowing that we have been pregnant.

At the time of fertilization or in cell division that occurs in subsequent hours, a genetic failure which prevents the embryo from developing, and within a few days lower menstruation as one more cycle or with a small delay.

Miscarriage or natural abortion is one that occurs before the 20th week of gestation. Most occur in the first trimester of pregnancy, before 12 weeks, when the baby's main organs are formed. The causes can be fetal, most of the time, or maternal, such as uterine malformations, chronic diseases, etc.

Miscarriage is a natural accident.

Abortion is a traumatic event for any couple, and especially for the woman, who lives the loss in her own body. The psychological aspects surrounding abortion must be taken into account by the environment in order to support her and make her feel that she is not alone, and above all, to overcome the feeling of guilt that inevitably emerges.

At a recent congress, assisted reproduction experts said that the responsibility for abortion is not exclusive to women. When a pregnancy is damaged, it can also be because the father transmits abnormalities that make the pregnancy unfeasible. A genetic study should be done in each case, except when there is a history of sterility or repeated abortions (more than three), they are not usually performed.

But anyway, the question is not to blame one or the other, but to understand that it is a nature accident, and accept it as such. Acceptance is the first step to overcome it. And although it is painful, and in some cases that feeling can last for several years, the vast majority of women who have had a miscarriage have become pregnant again.

Neither sport, nor sex, nor poorly done rest

It has nothing to do with having played sports, having lifted weight or having had sex with the loss of pregnancy. Not even a fall or a minor accident. More than half of abortions are due to fetal causes, due to congenital anomalies of the fetus, often chromosomal failures in the early stages of pregnancy.

You should know that if you lead a healthy life, do not take contraindicated medications, do not use drugs, do not drink or smoke too much, you are perfectly capable of conceiving. Many women (including myself) will have drunk a drink without knowing that we were pregnant and upon finding out assault the guilt, but it is practically impossible for a cup to trigger an abortion. It is not your fault.

Nor should you blame yourself for a rest not too strict. Of course, one does whatever it takes and if we have to stay in bed, then we stay, but lately the effectiveness of rest is being questioned, because if it is a genetic failure, or some maternal condition or disease that has caused little can do to remain still to avoid it.

The myths that surround spontaneous abortion are many, as well as comments that should never be made to a woman who has suffered an abortion. People talk a lot, but you have to know that It is not your fault. Dispelling that feeling will make it possible for you to grieve and move forward.
