We offer care and medical supervision for women experiencing an early pregnancy loss/miscarriage. There is no treatment that can stop a miscarriage, but there are several ways that it can be managed. Our medical staff can help you decide on the best option for your individual situation.
If you have an Rh-negative blood type, you will need a shot of low-dose Rhogam. This prevents rh-incompatibility problems in future pregnancies. Our practitioners will do a blood test to see if you are Rh negative.
Then, as long as you do not have heavy blood loss, fever, weakness, or other signs of infection, you have three options as to how to manage your pregnancy loss:
- Wait to see if the pregnancy will miscarry naturally
- Undergo a procedure called a D&C to remove the remainder of the pregnancy
- Take a medication that encourages the body to bleed and push out/expel the pregnancy
Unfortunately, miscarriage can affect anyone. Approximately 15-25% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. We are here to help women go through this process in the least painful way, emotionally and physically, as possible. Click here to learn what to expect at an appointment for miscarriage management.
