woman centered pregnancy and labour care

Another very misunderstood aspect of pregnancy care is miscarriages which happen early in pregnancy usually before 10 weeks. Most or almost all of theses miscarriages are usually not preventable whatever you eat or dont eat,exercise or don't exercise.Often expectant mothers tell me that all her family members have asked her to take complete bed rest in the first three months to prevent miscarriages.The poor mother is literally terrorised to believing that she should not climb stairs,she should not walk,she should not sit on the floor and so on and so forth.Common sense tells us that if these activities really led to miscarriages then the women labourers would never have children. The fact is that most early miscarriages most of the time happen because of genetic mutations when the sperm and ovum(egg) fuse to form a zygote and these are not dependent on any external factor.So the mothers need not blame themselves for such a mishap.The good news is that the chance of these genetic accidents happening again is very less.So even after two such miscarriages the chance of successful pregnancy happening is around 70--80%.
