Miscarriage is the most common complication of early pregnancy. [19] Among women who know they are pregnant, the miscarriage rate is roughly 10% to 20%, while rates among all fertilisation is around 30% to 50%. [1] [7] In those under the age of 35, the risk is about 10% while in those over the age of 40, the risk is about 45%. [1]
It is characterized by changes in fetal movement, growth, heart rate, and presence of meconium stained fluid. [4] Risk factors for fetal distress/non-reassuring fetal status include anemia, restriction of fetal growth, maternal hypertension or cardiovascular disease, low amniotic fluid or meconium in the amniotic fluid, or a post-term pregnancy.
The heart rate increases, but generally not above 100 beats/ minute. Total systematic vascular resistance decreases by 20% secondary to the vasodilatory effect of progesterone. Overall, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure drops 10–15 mm Hg in the first trimester and then returns to baseline in the second half of pregnancy. [6]
As many as 25 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage. About 1 percent of women suffer from three or more in a row, which is the definition of a recurrent miscarriage.

The 39-year-old said she was sending love to those who have battled or are currently dealing with a miscarriage, fertility issues or pregnancy problems.
In response to this, the proportion of umbilical venous blood diverted to fetal heart increases. [25] This eventually leads to elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance and increased right ventricular afterload. [26] [27] [28] This fetal cerebral redistribution of blood flow is an early response to placental insufficiency.
She isn’t the only woman to have died due to confusing laws surrounding reproductive care
