Let‘s Talk Pregnancy Miscarriage

The spontaneous loss of a woman's pregnancy before the 20th week is called a Miscarriage and it can be both physically and emotionally painful. Miscarriage is the most common type of pregnancy loss and often occurs because the foetus isn't developing normally.

In Nigeria, more than 1.5 million cases are registered per year. Unfortunately, the miscarriage process can’t be reversed once it has started.

To determine the cause of recurrent miscarriages, a fertility specialist or a gynecologist will review a patient's medical history and past pregnancies. Then adequate treatment is given.
