About 50 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. And pregnant women still have the possibility of miscarriage at 2 months of pregnancy. If this occurs, this is the necessary medical action.
As is known, miscarriage is the loss of a baby before the 20th week of pregnancy. The medical term for this miscarriage is spontaneous abortion. If the baby disappears after 20 weeks it is called stillbirth.
Miscarriage 2 months
Most pregnant women experience miscarriages without realizing they are pregnant. In fact, 1 in 5 confirmed pregnancies end in miscarriage before 20 weeks.

Traci C Johnson, an obstetrician and gynecologist, said that more than 80% of miscarriages occur in the first 3 months of pregnancy.
“Miscarriage is less likely to occur after 20 weeks. If this happens, doctors call it a late miscarriage,” said Johnson as quoted by WebMD.
There are various types of miscarriage, including:
Threatened miscarriage: a woman experiences bleeding and there is a threat of miscarriage, but the cervix has not dilated. It is very likely that the pregnancy will continue without any problems. Miscarriage that cannot be avoided (Inevitable miscarriage). Women experience bleeding and cramps. The cervix dilates. Possible miscarriage. Incomplete miscarriage. Some tissue from the baby or placenta leaves the body, but some remains in the uterus. Total miscarriage (Complete miscarriage). All pregnancy tissue leaves the body. This type of miscarriage usually occurs before the 12th week of pregnancy. Missed miscarriage. The embryo dies or never forms, but its tissue remains in the uterus. Recurrent miscarriage (RM/Recurrent miscarriage). Women lose three or more consecutive pregnancies during the first trimester. This type of miscarriage only occurs in 1 percent of couples trying to have a baby.
To check whether you have had a miscarriage, the doctor will do:
Pelvic examination. The doctor will check whether the cervix has begun to enlarge. Ultrasound test. This test uses sound waves to check the baby’s heartbeat. If the results are not clear, you can go back for another test in a week. Blood test. Doctors use it to look for pregnancy hormones in the blood and compare them with previous levels. Your doctor may also test for anemia if you have a lot of bleeding. Network test. If the tissue leaves the body, your doctor may send it to a laboratory to confirm that you are having a miscarriage. This can also help ensure there is no other cause for the symptoms. Chromosome test. If you have had two or more miscarriages, your doctor may do this test to find out whether your or your partner’s genes are the cause.

Signs of miscarriage 2 months
Miscarriage can occur suddenly or within a few weeks. Symptoms usually include vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain. It is important to see a doctor or go to the emergency room if you have signs of miscarriage.
The most common sign of miscarriage is vaginal bleeding, which can vary from pink or brown spotting to heavy bleeding. If the pregnancy is very early, you may think you are menstruating.
Other signs may include:
Cramping pain in the lower abdomen, which can vary from pain like menstruation to strong contractions like labor. Removing fluid from the vagina. Discharge of blood clots or pregnancy tissue from the vagina.
Causes of miscarriage and risk factors
Most miscarriages occur when the unborn baby has a fatal genetic problem. Usually this problem is not related to the mother.
Other problems that can increase the risk of miscarriage include:
Infections Medical conditions in the mother, such as diabetes or thyroid disease Hormonal problems Immune system responses Physical problems in the mother Uterine abnormalities Smoking Drinking alcohol Using street drugs Exposure to radiation or toxic substances
A woman has a higher risk of miscarriage if:
Over 35 years old Have certain diseases, such as diabetes or thyroid problems Have had three or more miscarriages Cervical insufficiency. Miscarriage sometimes occurs when the mother has weakness in the cervix. Doctors call this cervical insufficiency. This means that the cervix cannot hold the pregnancy. This type of miscarriage usually occurs in the second trimester.
There are usually several symptoms before a miscarriage caused by cervical insufficiency. The mother may feel sudden pressure, her water may break, and the baby’s tissue and placenta may leave the body without pain.
Doctors usually treat an insufficiency of the cervix with a ‘loop’ suture later in the pregnancy, usually around 12 weeks. The suture holds the cervix in place until the doctor removes it around the time of delivery.
If you have never had a miscarriage but your doctor finds that you have cervical insufficiency, they may add stitches to prevent miscarriage.

Medical treatment for miscarriage
Miscarriage can occur in the first three months. If this happens in the second month, what medical action should be taken? In general, if the miscarriage is complete and the uterus is empty, you most likely do not need further treatment.
Sometimes all networks don’t come out. If that happens, the doctor may perform a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure.
The ClevelandClinic page writes that surgery may also be the only option if the pregnancy is more than 10 weeks gestation. During this procedure, the cervix will dilate, and remaining pregnancy-related tissue will be gently scraped or sucked out of the uterus. The doctor performs this operation in the hospital, and the mother will be sedated.
The doctor will dilate the cervix and gently remove any remaining tissue. There are also medications you can take that cause the remaining tissue in the uterus to leave the body. This may be a better option if you want to avoid surgery.
If it is too late in the pregnancy and the fetus has died in the womb, the doctor will induce labor.
Mothers may undergo blood tests, genetic testing, or treatment if they experience more than two miscarriages in a row (recurrent miscarriage).
