Am I Having a Miscarriage? Signs, Symptoms, and Support

Am I Having a Miscarriage? Signs, Symptoms, and Support

Your heart and mind are racing, and you just can’t shake that nagging feeling: Something seems… off.

If you’re feeling this way, you are not alone. Many women wonder, “Am I having a miscarriage?” Early pregnancy loss is common, and understanding the signs can help you know when to seek medical care and emotional support.

Understanding Miscarriage and Early Pregnancy Loss

Studies show that:

  • About 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage
  • 80% of pregnancy loss occurs during the first trimester
  • Risk increases with age

Most early losses happen due to factors outside anyone’s control, such as chromosomal changes that prevent the embryo from developing normally. Knowing this can help reduce guilt or anxiety if you experience a loss.

You Are Not Alone in Your Worry

Feeling anxious about miscarriage is very common among expectant moms. It’s normal to be concerned, and it’s okay to reach out for guidance. Not every symptom means something is wrong, but being aware of possible miscarriage signs can help you make informed decisions.

Common Signs of Miscarriage

Every pregnancy is unique, but some potential miscarriage symptoms include:

  • Vaginal bleeding — from light spotting to heavier bleeding with clots (not all bleeding means miscarriage)
  • Strong cramping or persistent abdominal or back pain
  • Passing grayish tissue or fluid
  • Sudden loss of pregnancy symptoms — like nausea or breast tenderness

When to Call Your Doctor

Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience:

  • Bleeding accompanied by abdominal pain or cramping
  • Large clots or passing tissue
  • Dizziness or fainting
  • Fever or chills

Even if it isn’t a miscarriage, these symptoms may require urgent attention.
