What is the most common cause of a miscarriage?
Foetal genetical abnormalities, specifically glitches with the foetus’s chromosomes, are the cause behind 70 percent of all early pregnancy miscarriages.
Inconsolable crying is common for babies under three months of age.
Some babies, particularly newborns under the age of three months, may cry a lot, often for hours at a time. Check to see if the baby’s primary needs are met (dry diaper, fed, warm, well rested), and consult the pediatrician to confirm there is no illness. Also try rocking, baby carrying, going for a walk in the stroller, or a drive in the car, all potential ways to soothe the baby.
Which organ works to transfer nutrients from maternal blood to fetal blood during pregnancy?
The placenta is responsible for working as a trading post between the mother’s and the baby’s blood supply. Small blood vessels carrying the fetal blood run through the placenta, which is full of maternal blood. Nutrients and oxygen from the mother’s blood are transferred to the fetal blood, while waste products are transferred from the fetal blood to the maternal blood, without the two blood supplies mixing.
As long as a woman ingests the necessary amount of calories per day, the types of nutrients ingested do not affect the likelihood of getting pregnant.

With PCOS, women typically have, missed or irregular periods (monthly bleeding), and many small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in their ovaries.
