There is nothing like other people’s children in this world said, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Everyone endears them unflinchingly. What if, one loses her babies each time, she conceives. It not only hurts the body but also destroys the basic ethos of life within her soul. These are the things only a miscarriage survivor would understand. A house becomes a home, only when someone stays in it and a couple becomes a family only when a child is born to them. The urge to be a parent and to hear the words, Mummy-Papa, are a great milestone in one’s married life. Miscarriages or Spontaneous abortions, as they are known, are quite prevalent throughout the world. Basically one must plan their babies. Wanna be mother should and must, be mentally and physically prepared, to be a mother. One should avoid being pregnant, at an early or tender age. This medical emergency can happen in late pregnancies also. So appropriate age is a must for being a healthy mother, and having a healthy child also. 

SYMPTOMS: Miscarriage, also known as spontaneous abortion and pregnancy loss, is the natural death of an embryo or fetus before it is able to survive independently. Some use the cutoff of 20 weeks of gestation, after which fetal death is known as a stillbirth. The most common symptom of a miscarriage is vaginal bleeding with or without pain. Sadness, anxiety and guilt often occur afterwards. Tissue and clot-like material may leave the uterus and pass through and out of the vagina. When a woman keeps having miscarriages, infertility is present. 

CAUSES : As per Homoeopathy, it’s a deep-seated miasmatic malady. Chromosomal abnormalities, as quoted by the modern school of medicine. 

RISK FACTORS: Older parent, previous miscarriage, exposure to tobacco smoke, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, drug or alcohol use. Immune status of the patient; any chemical or occupational hazards, anatomical defects, PCOD, exposure to chemotherapy or radiation; endocrine disorders and genetic abnormalities. 

DIAGNOSIS: Examination, human chorionic gonadotropin(HCG) test and ultrasound are needed to diagnose this medical emergency. . Differential diagnosis: Ectopic pregnancy, implantation bleeding. Frequency of disease is 10-50% of pregnancies. 

PRECAUTIONS: ● Complete bed-rest. ● Avoid exertion/labour. ● No lifting of weight. ● Avoid travelling, avoiding pit-holes and jerks. 

HOMOEOPATHY WORKS: When prescribing a remedy for miscarriage in homoeopathy, the doctor must keep the miasmatic factors in mind as the foremost. Family and personal medical history are of utmost importance. There is no way, one should keep this medical history as a secret from one’s physician. Miscarriages and malformations are the result of chronic deep-seated, suppressed/ancestral disease. Homoeopathy has specific medicine for each particular month of abortion. Taking into account the above-advised precautions and disclosure to the doctor, one should get well-selected medicine, and continue seeking guidance and treatment till the time of delivery. Remedies like Caulophyllum, Kali Carb, Sepia, Pulsatilla, Sabina, Secale Cor., Apis Mel, Viburnum opulus, V.Prunifolium Q; are of great significance in preventing abortion and also helps in maintaining pregnancy till the completion of gestation period. Aletris Farinosa comes in use in case of weakness of uterus. In the coming months, we would discuss the complications in pregnancy and their easy cure with homeopathy pills and mother tinctures. Mental and physical symptoms along with the history of the patient, help us individualise a case.
