I have updated my weekly pregnancy chart.. i am 13 week pregnant.. As i will be going to 2nd tremester of pregnancy, i read alot of MISCARRIAGE in 2nd trimester pregnancy.. I will just copy and paste what i've found...
"
The second trimester of the pregnancy is officially noted as beginning in the 12th week of pregnancy and lasting until the 20th week. Any miscarriage occurring between these weeks would be considered a second trimester miscarriage. After the 20th week, the loss of a pregnancy is termed as a stillbirth.
The Reasons for a Second Trimester Miscarriage
The most common reason for any miscarriage is chromosome problems in the fetus. These problems often occur during the first trimester and may go undetected until the miscarriage occurs in the 2nd trimester of the pregnancy. In some cases, the fetus may have self aborted in the first trimester, but was “missed” during normal screening or doctor’s appointments.
Other causes for a second trimester miscarriage would include severe trauma to the abdomen, incompetent cervix, infections of the pelvic cavity or other part of the body, heart defects of the fetus, thrombophilia disorders, placental abruption, and placenta previa.
The Symptoms of a Second Trimester Miscarriage
The symptoms of a first and second trimester miscarriage are often the same. Vaginal bleeding, abdominal cramping and passing of clots are often associated with the loss of a fetus. In some cases, the bleeding may occur internally leading to pain in the shoulder area of the body and bloating of the stomach area.
The Incompetent Cervix
Late pregnancy miscarriage may be attributed to an incompetent cervix. When the pregnancy begins, the cervix softens and is plugged shut in order to keep the baby firmly in the uterus. In the case of an incompetent cervix, the cervix will begin to dilate within the second trimester. When the dilation goes undetected the baby can pass through the cervix resulting in the miscarriage of the fetus.
