Taking care of yourself during pregnancy is an essential condition to limit the risk of miscarriage. Remember, for example, to eat enough and well balanced. Various scientific studies have shown that women who had a normal BMI (Body Mass Index) were less at risk than women who were too thin. Taking vitamin and mineral supplements, including vitamin B9 and iron, can also help reduce the risk. Do not hesitate to talk to your doctor about it. Finally, be careful when it comes to sports:do not hesitate to ask your doctor for advice on safe sports if you are a fierce sportswoman!
It should be emphasized:many miscarriages are due to taking medications that are not recommended during pregnancy. Among these drugs are very common substances, such as aspirin for example, as well as anti-inflammatories. Before swallowing a medicine, whatever the reason, do not hesitate to ask your doctor or pharmacist. At the same time, be sure to stop your consumption of alcohol and tobacco, which are also two factors that can trigger miscarriages. Also consider reducing your coffee consumption.
Some miscarriages are linked to specific and identified abnormalities in women, for example insufficient secretion of the corpus luteum or uterine malformation. In the first case, hormonal treatment based on progesterone can be considered, if you have already suffered one or more miscarriages. If you suffer from a uterine malformation, surgery may also be necessary to improve the problem.
