What Is A Miscarriage?
Miscarriage, which is also known as a spontaneous abortion, is defined as a naturally occurring loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks. After 20 weeks, it is referred to as a
stillbirth.
after 20 weeks you have to give birth i believe. its too big to pass. and hun stress was likly not a factor... it has been proven that stress doesn't affect the fetus much. if you took care of yourself and did what you should it was not your falt, there was something else wrong with the baby.
What doesn't cause miscarriages
Your diet didn't cause your miscarriage. There's no evidence to support this. Forgetting to take your prenatal vitamins also doesn't cause miscarriage. Remember that women give birth in malnourished countries around the world, so simply eating a less than optimal diet or not taking your vitamins in itself is
not going to cause a miscarriage.
Having a few drinks, or even getting completely drunk, before you found out you were pregnant is also unlikely to cause a miscarriage. Since not all pregnancies are planned, women frequently may find out they're pregnant as a surprise and still go on to have a perfectly healthy baby.
Stress is also not likely to have caused your miscarriage. There is some evidence that extreme emotional stress may be linked to miscarriage, but as far as general anxiety, remember that most mothers are anxious and worry about their babies, yet the human race is still in existence. Studies linking stress to miscarriage more likely mean the stress of extreme, traumatic life events or continued stress at an extreme level -- not the stress of normal everyday worries.
There are studies linking miscarriage to alcohol, smoking, caffeine, and use of NSAIDs. Numerous studies link excessive drinking and smoking to increased odds of miscarriage, so it's wise to avoid doing either if you're pregnant or hoping to become pregnant. Excessive caffeine intake is also positive correlated with increased risk of miscarriage. However, bear in mind that while these factors may be correlated with miscarriage, no one thing that anyone does is going to be what makes the difference between miscarrying and not. If it were as easy to cause a miscarriage as having a single alcoholic drink or drinking one too many cups of coffee, there would be very few babies born. So it's good practice to avoid these substances while pregnant, but if you used them, the odds are still low that it had anything to do with your loss.
