Miscarriage

Sometimes a pregnancy ends in a different way than you had hoped or expected. 20 percent of all pregnant women experience bleeding in the first 16 weeks of pregnancy. Eventually, 10 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. In the remaining 10 percent of women who loss blood during pregnancy, the bleeding is innocent.

The greater the age of the mother, the greater the risk of a miscarriage. Signs of miscarriage are bleeding and abdominal pain.
