Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Dear Sir, My first pregnancy ended in a very early miscarriage in January 2015 last year. I notice is a light spotting but very painful so I go to my Doctor and ask her advice. When she do the ultrasound I couldn t hear baby s heartbeat and I m exactly 10 weeks. So she needs to do the surgical procedure like raspa or dilation. So the surgery is successful. And now i am pregnant again this year and exactly 8 weeks my baby don t have a heartbeat again. I wanna know what complications are associated with miscarriage? Is it the result of surgery to remove tissues from the pregnancy or because of my age 35? It could be harmed by the instruments used in the surgery? Thanks for your help.

Hi,
1. You can see your baby's heartbeat as early as on 8th week. it will be a kind of flickering movements only.
2. Side effects of miscarriage are tiredness, pain, bleeding if incomplete miscarriage,temperature and discharge if any infection is present.
3. If your doctor feels that still the heart beat is not present the next time you visit her. Then you should definitely be told to do chromosomal test as the recurrent miscarriages in first trimester can be of concern. So she will ask you to go for karyotyping studies.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshita,
