  1. My partner Kristen Wenke STEAM project is the miscarriages during pregnancy. Miscarriages during pregnancy’s happen around about 10 to 15 in 100 pregnancies (10 to 15 percent) end in miscarriage. Most miscarriages happen in the first trimester before the 12th week of pregnancy. Miscarriage in the second trimester (between 13 and 19 weeks) happens in 1 to 5 in 100 (1 to 5 percent) pregnancies. The most likely to happen occurs because the fetus isn’t developing as expected. About 50 percent of miscarriages are associated with extra or missing chromosomes. Most often, chromosome problems result from errors that occur by chance as the embryo divides and grows — not problems inherited from the parents. Most happen around the first trimester before the 12th week of pregnancy. A miscarriage in the second trimester (between 13 and 19 weeks) happens in 1% to 5% of pregnancies. What happens when it happens is the embryo or fetus is spontaneously expelled from your uterus before you’re 20 weeks pregnant. That will have symptoms including heavy bleeding and abdominal cramps, sometimes for a few days or longer. There are ways to reduce this like not smoking when pregnant, not drinking any alcohol when pregnant. The last thing to do is eat healthy for the baby. The other ways to make sure it doesn’t happen is managing stress and exercise. There is a sign if a miscarriage is happening and that is if the vaginal spotting or bleeding, which can vary from slight brownish discharge to very heavy bleeding.
