2+ times-risk of carring to term significantly lower
TYPES OF MISCARRIAGE

Threaatened
slight bleeding and maybe cramping. No dilation or effecing.
TYPES OF MISCARRIAGE
Inevitable
cervical changes, increased bleeding and cramping, dilation occurs
TYPES OF MISCARRIAGE
Incomplete
some retained tissue-continued bleeding, pain, fever, pt needs a D&C
TYPES OF MISCARRIAGE
Complete
all tissue has been expelled- no care is needed
TYPES OF MISCARRIAGE
Missed
fetal demise contents remain in utero
Recurrent preggnancy loss
internal os (opening) is wweakened resulting in painless early dilation and loss of prefnancy, usually 12-20 wks
