What Are Miscarriages?
Miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks and, sadly, it is more common than many realise. While often not openly spoken about, it affects up to one in four pregnancies and can leave people feeling confused, heartbroken, and searching for answers. In many cases, no clear medical cause is identified, which can make the experience feel even more isolating.
Whether it’s a first miscarriage or part of a recurring pattern, the emotional and physical toll can be immense. If you’ve experienced a pregnancy loss and are looking for more clarity, support, or guidance before trying again, you are not alone, and your experience matters deeply.
Common Signs and Symptoms
- Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy
- Cramping or abdominal pain
- Loss of pregnancy symptoms (e.g. nausea or breast tenderness)
- Emotional grief, sadness, or anxiety
- Hormonal imbalance following miscarriage
- Fatigue or depletion after the loss
- Fear or hesitation about trying to conceive again
