Miscarriage Symptoms and Treatment

Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a fetus before the 20th week of pregnancy. Approximately 20 percent or 1 in 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage, and often a cause is never found. Most miscarriages occur within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and are usually a single occurrence. However if a woman endures three consecutive miscarriages, they are considered recurring miscarriages. Medical tests may be ordered to discover what underlying conditions are causing the problems.

Mommy Wannabe Part 2

It’s estimated that infertility affects one in seven couples in the United States That means about 13 million women have walked in my shoes — or I in theirs — and the number is growing all the time. My pregnant friend — the one who sent me the email subject lined “problem” — has had four miscarriages, so I was sure she was writing to say it had happened again. But I was so wrong. Instead, the baby she’s carrying has been diagnosed with Down Syndrome — a severe case, as far as the doctors can tell. As I write this, I weep — for her, for myself and for every person who has sunk even a pinkie toe into the muck of infertility.

Celebrity Fertility: Mariah Carey Talks to '20/20' about Miscarriage, Motherhood

In an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters on 20/20 Friday night, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon revealed their six-month-old twins — son Moroccan (Roc) and daughter Monroe (Roe).

Carey told Walters how she had trouble getting pregnant and had experienced a miscarriage after her 2008 wedding to Cannon. To get pregnant this time, Carey said she took progesterone before and during her pregnancy to reduce the chance of another miscarriage. The singer also credits daily acupuncture with helping her reduce stress and get pregnant.

“The main thing I did that was tough, was to go on progesterone like every month… and then when I was pregnant, I had to stay with the progesterone for 10 weeks,” she told Walters.
