Quick Summary:

A Miscarriage is the termination of pregnancy before the 23rd week
The majority of Miscarriages take place before the 12th week of pregnancy (before the 3rd month is complete). Many Miscarriages are known to take place even before women realize that they are pregnant
Miscarriages usually occur because of possible problems with the fetus, such as chromosomal abnormalities. The chances of a Miscarriage decrease greatly, once the heartbeat of the fetus is felt or present
Vaginal bleeding and crampy abdominal pain are the common signs of a Miscarriage
After a Loss of Pregnancy, if the complete expulsion of the fetus does not occur spontaneously, then either a surgery or medication is required to remove it completely from the uterus
Most women are able to conceive again with no complications being observed; they can carry a healthy pregnancy
