Some women will suddenly experience heavy bleeding, painful cramps and abdominal pain. Though less common, this type of behaviour is still within the parameters of a normal post-miscarriage experience, as these symptoms indicate the that the body is simply expelling parts of the placenta, which was previously still attached to the uterine wall. Symptoms should resolve themselves without medical aid.

A study published out of Newcastle University has found that obese women have a greater chance of miscarrying. The study focussed on 41,000 pregnancies which were monitored out of five British hospitals, and found that out of this studied group, obese women were around 50 percent more at risk of experiencing a miscarriage, stillbirth or infant morality when compared to women who had more healthy BMIs.

60 percent of all first trimester miscarriages will happen without any identifiable explanation. This can cause many women to blame themselves for the loss, which is normally unfounded.

While some amount of spitting up or choking is common with newborns when they are first learning how to eat, if it continues, worsens, or seems uncomfortable to the baby, it may be time to contact the pediatrician to check for reflux.

Any of these signs indicate that your baby may be struggling to breathe. Keep in mind babies do breathe faster than adults and children, but breaths that occur at a rate of more than 60 per minute are concerning.

Only barrier methods (male condoms and internal condoms) prevent pregnancy and STIs. The rest only protect against pregnancy but not from infections.
