Can You Prevent a Miscarriage?

Written on April 29, 2008

pregnant Miscarriages are hard to deal with for everyone involved. One in five pregnancies end in a miscarriage and in most cases, they cannot be prevented due to genetic abnormalities. Miscarriages are not the woman’s fault, which is the biggest thing to remember and even if you have had a miscarriage, a lot of women go on to carry to term and give birth to healthy babies so it is also important to not give up hope of becoming a mother.

While most miscarriages cannot be avoided, there are some things that a woman can do to ensure that she carries her pregnancy to term.

Get tested
It is always wise to get tested as often as you can for sexually transmitted diseases and infections. Even if you don’t currently have any symptoms, you may still be carrying an STD or STI that you are unaware of. Ask your doctor to test you for all major infections and diseases such as gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, and herpes; all of which increase the chances of a miscarriage.

Exercise
I’m not saying to go and run a marathon or work out for four hours out of every day, but it is a healthy move to work out maybe once a week with some light walking around a scenic area or hopping on the treadmill for a half hour. Some other ways to keep your body in shape is to take up yoga, which is easy on your body, keeps you in shape and stabilizes your mood.

Take up strong communication skills with your doctor
Tell your doctor what is worrying you and be completely honest. Get tested, don’t be wary about how the doctor may look at you or see you as a person; remember, they’ve heard it all thousands of times before. Get a complete screening and blood work done to check for diseases (sexually transmitted or not) since conditions such as thyroid disease, epilepsy and lupus can all increase your risks of miscarriage.

Stay away from alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs
Remember that the addictions you have, your fetus also has. If you’re a smoker, your fetus is a smoker. If you’re a caffeine addict, your fetus is a caffeine addict. Although your body can deal with the pressure you put on it, your fetus’ body is still developing and is not able to take on the harsh chemicals that you put into your–and into your fetus’ body.

Stay positive
This is the biggest point of them all. Over 75 percent of women who miscarry go on to give birth to healthy and happy babies. After consulting with your doctor, putting a healthy schedule into action for yourself and weening yourself off of any addictions that you may have, you can have a successful pregnancy.

    Hiya, i have come across your blog a few times when doing research. I own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a ton of spam? If so how do you control it, any plugin or something you can suggest? I get so much it’s driving me insane. I am using a hosted blog at the moment, but want to start my own soon so i can only imagine what it will be like when i am not familiar “administering” a blog. So any help or input is much appreciated, i’m so frustrated i had to turn my comments off which i don’t want to do. Thanks :)

I’m so frustrated by it i had to turn my comments off which i don’t want to do because i love peoples input. Also do you get strange jibberish URL’s in the spam that don’t even work or the domains are not even registered? Seems pointless (and odd) and i can’t work out why they do it. Thanks :)

    You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.

    It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place

    This was a great Idea for a blog! Most people overlook this stuff or just ignore it because they think they’re different from everyone else and the facts don’t apply to them. Some people just ride off a miscarriage as something that just happens because that’s the “way it goes”. It’s nice to see someone actually trying to solve this as a problem rather than just saying “it happens”. Thank you.

    Weight has always been a struggle for me and has caused many health problems including high blood pressure. Proactol has provided me with more energy, enabling me to stick with my exercise routine and I’m pretty sure has contributed to the lowering of my blood pressure. I’m very pleased with this weight loss pills.
