When you are pregnant, things can happen that are not normal. A miscarriage is the loss of a baby in the first 20th week of pregnancy. It is also called spontaneous abortion. In this article, we will tell you some of the signs of a miscarriage and what you should do if they occur. Light bleeding (spotting) may be normal at this time in your pregnancy. The more severe symptoms listed below can be a sign of a problem, especially if they do not go away or get worse.

Today, more women than ever before are having cesarean deliveries, sometimes or more often known as C-sections, which is a medical operation that involves making an incision in the belly and uterus to deliver a baby. If you have previously had a cesarean delivery (C-section), it does not totally guarantee you will have to do it again; instead, you must determine whether to give birth vaginally or not. Many women who have previously had a C-section can surely have vaginal births or deliveries. They can have a vaginal birth after cesarean, known as planned Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC), or just opt for another c-section itself, known as Elective Repeat Caesarean Section (ERCS). There has not been a lot of data on the health risks and results related to VBAC to ERCS until recently.
