Early Pregnancy Loss

Facts, symptoms, recovery, support

What to know

  • •Miscarriage before 12 weeks occurs in ~10–20% of confirmed pregnancies
  • •Most common cause — chromosomal abnormalities that couldn't be prevented
  • •It is NOT your fault: work, gym, stress, sex aren't causes in most cases
  • •Recurrent losses (2+) warrant investigation, not self-blame

This is a reference, not a diagnosis. For bleeding, pain or suspected loss — see a doctor. Emotional state after loss is also a reason to seek support.
