Pregnancy loss, also referred to as miscarriage or spontaneous abortion, is generally defined as a nonviable intrauterine pregnancy up to 20 weeks of gestation. Early pregnancy loss, which occurs in the first trimester (ie, up to 12+6 weeks gestation), is the most common type. ●First trimester – First-trimester losses are those up to 12+6 weeks gestation. ●Second trimester – Early second-trimester pregnancy loss is one that occurs after 13+0 and prior to 20+0 weeks of gestation [9]. Signs and symptoms of second-trimester pregnancy loss include bleeding, cramping/pain, or labor. Diagnosis of second-trimester pregnancy loss includes ultrasound documentation of intrauterine fetal death or spontaneous delivery. The definition of recurrent pregnancy loss varies. As examples, varying definitions have included: ●Two or more failed clinical pregnancies as documented by ultrasonography or histopathologic examination. ●Three consecutive pregnancy losses, which are not required to be intrauterine. Workup for RPL includes: •parental karotype •uterine assessment •Antiphospholipid syndrome •thyroid function tests Individuals with pregnancy loss, particularly early pregnancy loss (EPL), are likely to have subsequent normal pregnancies. Earlier initiation of conception efforts after a pregnancy loss does not increase the risk of another pregnancy loss and may positively impact live birth rates. It is important for patients to be emotionally ready for pregnancy when they start trying to conceive. #pregnancyloss #miscarriage #pregnancylossawareness #iufd #fetaldemise
