90% of the time 'watch and wait' works out, but the alternatives may be preferable even so. I'm glad the vid pointed out the treatments for complications of miscarriage are similar to abortion and thus many jurisdictions have made such care near impossible.

I had a miscarriage, and I didn’t even know I was pregnant at the time. It was the most physical pain I’d ever been in, and I’ve got tattoos, broken bones, had teeth pulled, been in motorcycle accidents, and at this point have given actual birth (to a perfect daughter). The miscarriage was hands down the worst. Afterwards, what got me through it psychologically was Ali Wong’s stand up about her own miscarriage. It helped me understand how common miscarriage is, and that it doesn’t have to be a big deal unless you need/want it to be.

I'm in the middle of a miscarriage currently. Wondering why my doctor did not offer any options other than the surgical route. Perhaps that is because mine is a fairly late one that happened at the end of the first trimester. I will have to ask him tomorrow.

Thank you everyone for your replies and well wishes. I got my answers today, as well as a DnC procedure. In my hospital they only offer medication option if the fetus is under 10 weeks of age. I was well beyond that at almost 13 weeks. The wait and see approach is an option but as I was already two weeks past the time when my baby passed and nothing much was changing, while I myself was rather uncomfortable, they thought the surgical route was best. Usually they strongly recommend it if three weeks have elapsed and there was no spontaneous clearance of the uterus as chances of infection and other complications go up while the fetus may be retained for a very long time yet. Be well, mamas.

Information from a medical website: An embryo’s heart doesn’t start beating until about 22 days after fertilization. That’s a week after a missed period. As the video says, it’s very common that if the egg doesn’t implant properly, you usually aren’t even aware of that loss of a potential pregnancy (miscarriage).

Very accurate and educational!

I've had two miscarriages. My first I just found out I was pregnant, but miscarried the next day. My second I made it to twelve weeks with twins! But then their hearts just stopped beating...I was devastated. My options were to wait to naturally have labor or get a D and C. I opted for the D and C. I didn't want to labor (very bloody) and have them keep sitting inside me. It's been a year now and I still deeply miss my babies🩷. I was blessed to have another baby since the twins though! Please keep talking about these things! So many don't know, or have different assumptions about pregnancy.

Thank you for making and sharing this. As women, we should not be ashamed about this subject. Miscarriages can happen to anyone and I send my prayers of light and healing to those going through such terrible times.

I once had a miscarriage, while not knowing i was pregnant. The physical toll it took was alot more than i ever expected, idk why. I never wanted kids, and when i felt my body actively terminating the pregnancy, and the fall out of it, the cramps, the blood, the chunks of tissue that passes it alarming and if i hadnt seen the tissue chunks as i went to the bathroom, i still wouldnt have known i was pregnant. I thought i was sick, had the flu or something, high fever, chills, sweating profusely, the whole 9. Ultimately, i was glad for it, but ill pass on the experience again, thanks.

Id love to learn more about these types of topics

I had one. It was real painful. Crazy thing is i went to the ER & as the doctor was looking to see how much had passed through, it was sitting halfway out my cervix. He pulled it out, which actually didnt hurt at all. He asked if i wanted to see it & i did. It was so sad seeing basically a blob in a cup. I was only 5 1/2 weeks. 2 weeks later i was tlking to God about it. I kept saying that i had a feeling ill be pregnant again soon & had an overwhelming sense of peace. I was driving during my tlk & i saw a rainbow directly ahead. 2 months later i was pregnant again. The real kicker was after i gave birth, God gave me another one IMMEDIATELY after lol. Now i have irish twins-10 3/4 months apart. I also had 2 other kids before them. But if ur still reading this & u are distraught over ur miscarriage, please know ur not alone. Lean on God & he just might give u a testimony like myself or greater❤

And if it’s a second trimester miscarriage, even more medical intervention may be necessary (as in my case). I wish more people knew all more about this topic in general.

3:30 "Several weeks of pain and bleeding." On my gosh. That's sounds horrible to go through.

Going through a miscarriage may be physically and emotionally painful. Sending love to all those who have had. ❤ May God bless you multifold. 🤍

It’s unfortunate for everyone that miscarriages fall under the same umbrella as their similar cousins, which are far more serious crimes, but the fact is that they haven’t yet developed the necessary surveillance or monitoring capabilities to properly categorise such occurrences. And now, people are going to waste time on this.

Thank you 🤩

An interesting thing can happen in an ectopic pregnancy (a type of miscarriage that occurs when the fetus attempts to set up shop outside of the uterus) known as a lithopedion. Sometimes, the fetus is too large for the body to reabsorb, so the body calcifies it, turning it to stone. This process is similar to how a grain of sand becomes a pearl inside of an oyster. These pregnancies can go undetected for years. One case in Chile wasn’t detected for 50 years.

My mother had a miscarriage to my to-be-younger-sister. I just learned about it many years later when I was old enough to understand and after we have my younger brother (suppose to be his older sister). I can still remember her sadness when she brought it up coz she's been praying to have a baby girl. I thank God she was alright after that and was able to conceive my brother and she is okay today. Things can not really turn out the way we hope to. I send my regards to all women who experienced it and may you overcome this saddening and painful experience.

Hello TedEd! I'm a nursing student from the Philippines and just wanna thank your platform for spreading awareness about reproductive health and pregnancy. I have delivered a baby boy December last year as part of our DR rotations and it warms my heart bringing an angel into this world and also assisting parents in making their pregnancy memorable. No mother should experience the pain of losing a child, and even though others might think having miscarriage is a taboo, I personally encourage pregnant mothers to fully express your concerns to your health provider and seek support if needed. Since miscarriage occurs during the first trimester of pregnancy (the most critical period btw), antenatal care or check-ups is a must. Ask questions, be receptive of them. Remember, pregnancy isn't just about the mother and child alone and tackling the issue of miscarriage doesn't have to be scary.

thank you

I miscarried my first pregnancy. I was devastated since I totally didn't expect it to happen. Nobody talks about their miscarriages until you have one, then I realized a lot more women than I thought had been through the same thing. The process was very painful and emotionally hard. I am now pregnant with a totally healthy pregnancy and currently 27 weeks. It's one of those things that societies don't speak on but is apart of many people's journeys to a healthy baby.

I had 2 miscarriages between my 2 children. Possibly more because my husband and I tried to get pregnant for 4 years. One miscarriage was incomplete. The doctor gave me the option of medication or D&C, I chose D&C because I just wanted it to be over with. But a D&C is quite uncomfortable. My husband and I have 2 theories why I had miscarriages. My OBGYN sent what was vacuumed out of me to the pathology lab. The only useful information we got was that the fetus had type A blood. I have type O. Both my kids have type O. Maybe my body saw the type A blood as foreign. Second theory, both my pregnancies had some pretty bad complications, preeclampsia. One towards the end and after, the other only after. Maybe my body had some way of trying to save me by preventing pregnancy.

About 10-20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, also known as early pregnancy loss, before 20 weeks. However, the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur before a person realizes they are pregnant. For example, bleeding around the time of a menstrual period, called a chemical pregnancy, can make it seem like a late period.

Before my little brother was born, my mom had a miscarriage, making him a rainbow baby. But, I had always wondered why my sister had left me... And this video kinda gave me the reassurance that no doctor could have. Thank you Ted Ed. Thank you.
