Miscarriage or sudden abortion is the loss of pregnancy that occurs 20 weeks before the gestation. There may be many reasons for a miscarriage such as smoking, drinking, eating a certain herbs, birth control pills, etc. The miscarriage, many a times occurs very early and can go showing no signs in women. Today, we will discuss about this sign of loss of pregnancy. Take a look.

Most of the miscarriages (atleast 80%) occur due to abnormalities with chromosomes. And this doesn't mean that the problem is genetic (inherited from ancestors). The chances of it is mainly during the fertilisation of the egg. A miscarriage may not take place right away but take several weeks after the foetus died. This miscarriage is during the first trimester.
