Abortion is the expulsion or extraction from its mother of an embryo or fetus weighing 500 g or less when it is not capable of independent survival according to WHO This 500 g of fetal development is attained approximately at 22 weeks of gestation
In this course I will coach you different types of miscarriage and management
1 What is miscarriage
2 types of miscarriage
What is Chemical pregnancy
A chemical pregnancy is a very early miscarriage They can happen before you know that you re pregnant The egg is fertilised but loss happens soon after implantation so it ll never have a heartbeat you wont usually have signs of anything happening with a chemical pregnancy You ll probably bleed around the time your period is due or at most it might be a few days late or a bit heavier than normal Most chemical pregnancies happen because the fertilised egg has chromosomal abnormalities
What is Blighted ovum
Blighted ovum also known as an anembryonic pregnancy occurs in the first trimester Again this often happens before your even aware your pregnant A blighted ovum is when your fertilised egg attaches to the wall of your uterus but doesnt develop into an embryo You might feel pregnant However the doctor performing your ultrasound will see an empty gestational sac and sadly wont be able to pick up a heartbeat
