Medicines That Can Cause Miscarriage
Updatedwhat are those medicines that can cause miscarriage?
Miscarriage
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before the growing baby is born. This usually occurs within the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. There is nothing you can do to prevent a miscarriage. However, you can still get pregnant again and have a healthy baby.
Causes
It may not be known why you miscarried. A miscarriage is your body's way of dealing with a baby that was not growing normally. Health problems of the mother can lead to miscarriage. Smoking, drinking alcohol, or drug abuse can also cause miscarriage. Having sex, exercising, working, suffering a minor fall, or using birth control pills before pregnancy does not cause miscarriage. Often, no reason for the miscarriage can be found.
Signs/Symptoms
Bleeding is the most common sign of a coming miscarriage. You may have pain in your abdomen or back. A gush of warm liquid from your vagina is another sign, meaning your bag of water has broken early.
Care
You may have an ultrasound test. It is done to check for your baby's heartbeat. Your doctor can tell if the miscarriage has happened or is about to happen.
If your cervix (bottom part of the uterus) has opened and you are having painful cramps, a miscarriage is certain. Your doctor will watch you carefully if you start to bleed.
After a miscarriage, you may have tissue left in your uterus. This tissue must be removed by a D & C (dilatation & curettage) because it can cause infection. This can be done in your doctor's office or the emergency department. It is sometimes done in the operating room.
You may need to go into the hospital if you are bleeding heavily or if you need more care.
Risks
Untreated bleeding or infection after a miscarriage could be fatal. But, the risks of serious illness or death are minimal if you follow your doctor's suggestions.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Call Your Doctor If...
You have heavy vaginal bleeding (soaking 1 pad each hour).
You have fever or chills.
You have severe abdominal pain.
You have a bad odor coming from your vagina.
Your have a high temperature.
IF YOU'RE HEADING FOR THE HOSPITAL...
What to Expect While You're There
You may encounter the following procedures and equipment during your stay.
Taking Vital Signs: These include your temperature, blood pressure, pulse (counting your heartbeats), and respirations (counting your breaths). A stethoscope is used to listen to your heart and lungs. Your blood pressure is taken by wrapping a cuff around your arm.
D & C: Any tissue left in the uterus could cause heavy bleeding, and must be removed by a D & C (dilatation & curettage) to prevent infection. You will get medicine to help you relax before and during the D & C. The procedure should not be painful.
Consent Form: You or a close family member will be asked to sign this legal piece of paper. It will give your doctor permission to do tests and treatments. Be sure that all your questions have been answered before you sign this form.
Afterward: You will return to your hospital room. Ask for medicine if you are having pain. You may want to have someone stay with you to give comfort and support. You will go home when you are eating, drinking, and able to care for yourself.
Activity: You will be asked to rest in bed if you are bleeding heavily. Once the bleeding has slowed down you will be able to get out of bed.
IV: A tube placed in your vein for giving medicine or liquids. It will be capped or have tubing connected to it.
Medicines: You may get antibiotics and medicines to fight infection. They can be taken by mouth or put in your IV.
Blood: Usually taken from a vein in your hand or from the bend in your elbow. Tests will be done on the blood.
Blood Transfusion: May be necessary if you need more blood.
Abdominal and Vaginal Ultrasound: This painless test is done while you are lying down. A dab of a jelly-like lotion is placed on your belly. The person doing the test will gently move a small handle through the lotion and across the skin. A TV-like screen is attached to the handle. To perform a vaginal ultrasound, a small tube is placed in your vagina. There is no pain.
Grief: A miscarriage is frightening, confusing and depressing. You may feel sad or angry at the loss of your pregnancy, and may tend to blame yourself. These feelings are normal. To get past them, talk with your doctor or someone close to you.
After You Leave
Your doctor will want to see you in 2 to 6 weeks.
There are many medications that can cause miscarriage if used during pregnancy.
However, the medication approved for miscarriage that is most commonly used is Misprostol.

If you knew you did not want to get pregnant you shouldn't have had unprotective sex. If you are old enought to have sex, you should be old enought to figure out how you can have a miscarriage on your own. I had a miscarriage at two months, not by choice and it was very painful.

Please i used misopostrol on 12th of dec nd my p.t still confirms positive on 9th of jan.does dat mean am stil pregnant or nt?
I recently suffered a natural miscarriage that I had no control over and trust me, you will feel pain and grief to know that your baby is gone and dead. Do not have an abortion, you can love your child and decide to be a good mother. Losing a baby, even before they are born is heartbreaking. You have a gift growing in you and losing that gift, that baby causes tremendous pain. A strong maternal bond has always been created with you and your baby. You are their mother now.

In your cases you should definitely consult with your doctor since they can review your full medical history and assess your pregnancy. Then if it is decided to terminate it, they may prescribe a medicine such as Misoprostol, or elect to perform a procedure such as a D & C. It is highly recommended to work with trained healthcare professionals on this because there is always a potential for complications and you need to stay safe. Another alternative may be to consider adoption for your unborn child. There may be other couples near you that would love to have a child but are unable to. Good luck to you all and hoping for safe and healthy resolutions.

I have been with boyfriend for almost 5 years. We have a daughter together and I just found out he cheated on me, I cheated on him after I found out and now I'm pregnant but I don't know if he or the other guy is the father. No one would accept who the other guy is and I don't either I do not want to have a baby by him, I don't want to get an abortion I just do not want to go on with this pregnancy so adoption is not an option. I need to know anything and everything that will cause a miscarriage.
