Most miscarriages happen in first 15 weeks of pregnancy, for this reason it is extremely important to be especially careful during this period. Most miscarriages do not have a cause: some are caused because of complications and defects in the chromosomal development of fetus, others are caused by infections, traumas, anatomical abnormalities and certain systemic diseases, such as diabetes.
While some miscarriages are caused because of risky behavior, that includes habits like alcohol drinking, smoking, drug abuse and even caffeine.
A sign of miscarriage is usually vaginal bleeding, which may be confused with some of the pregnancy signs (especially implantation bleeding or spotting, which is usually the first indication of pregnancy).
Additionally, there are specific actions a woman must take in order to minimize a chance of miscarriage, and they include the following.
Consuming enough zinc rich foods or zinc supplements. If you are often cold or if you often have infections, if you are often feeling exhausted or having poor appetite, poor sense of taste and smell, or if your skin and hair is dry and you have white spots on your fingernail, you very probably suffer from zinc deficiency. And since zinc is one of the most important minerals for your reproductive system for both men and women, make sure to consume zinc either in food or in form of supplements.
Woman cannot maintain pregnancy without proper progesterone levels which are also known as pregnancy hormones. If woman experiences low progesterone level, she might also suffer from PMS and luteal phase defect. In order to balance progesterone level, woman should increase magnesium and vitamin B6 intake. Both are found in seeds, nuts, egg yolk, dark green leafy vegetables and legumes.
Vitamin C supports the strength of your uterus, so make sure to consume proper amounts of vitamin C. If your uterus isn’t strong enough and if your connective tissue is weak, it is very possible a miscarriage will happen. Make sure to increase the level of vitamin C. Either take prenatal supplements or eat vitamin C rich food, such as citrus foods. Also make sure to eat enough bioflavonoids because they help the body to absorb more vitamin C and also contribute to the strength of the connective tissue. Bioflavonoids are found in all berries.
And once again: avoid bad habits such as smoking or inhaling secondary smoke, avoid alcohol and also skip caffeine for some time.
