10 Effective Tips To Induce Miscarriage (or) Spontaneous Abortion

Sometimes the idea of being a mother and taking care of a child is quite hard to handle, especially if you are a young mother having an unexpected pregnancy. You may have financial difficulties or abortion might be illegal in your country. Your family might not support the practice or maybe you just want to keep the entire procedure private and devoid of controversy. Here is when inducing a miscarriage becomes an option to consider.

There are many ways to induce a miscarriage with safe and natural methods. These methods have been used for generations, from times when medical practices were still underdeveloped. Whatever the case, the decision lies with you and you alone. To give you a little support, we will discuss what the options for a young mother wanting a safe, natural miscarriage are- its advantages and its complications as well.

Let us first learn exactly what the term means.

What is Natural Miscarriage?

When you lose the foetus inside your womb within the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, it is called a miscarriage or a spontaneous abortion. It is different from an abortion where you undergo medical methods to terminate your pregnancy. 20% of all pregnancies have chances of a miscarriage, and 80% of such miscarriages happen before 12 weeks of pregnancy.

If you have an unexpected pregnancy, you may want to know what the natural miscarriage methods you can employ at home are. Here we will discuss a few natural remedies for you to undergo a miscarriage at home, without the intervention of a doctor or a medical procedure.

10 Natural Ways to Induce Miscarriage

Don’t go by what’s randomly on the internet. Many methods you find there can be wrong or dangerous for you. Here are 10 ways for causing a miscarriage naturally and more importantly, safely –

1. Vitamin C

This is actually one of the most popular ways to induce your period faster than its due date. Vitamin C helps to promote oestrogen levels, a female hormone which is responsible for inducing menstruation. As the level of Vitamin C increases in your body, uterine contractions start and your periods begin, effectively inducing a miscarriage. You should ideally take vitamin C every hour but take care not to consume more than 6000mg per day, as it might cause other negative side effects that can be dangerous to your health! A common side effect of this method is bloating but it isn’t something to be worried about.

2. Cinnamon

Cinnamon has properties which makes it a natural substance that causes a miscarriage and also, is helpful in stopping the pain associated with the act. When taken in the right amounts, it stimulates the uterine wall. However, if you cook it in food and then have it, it loses its properties which help induce the miscarriage. Usually, cinnamon supplements work better than naturally occurring cinnamon in this regard, as they are stronger.

3. Blue and Black Cohosh

These are two herbs that are used commonly in India to induce a miscarriage. They are cheap and grown in poor areas. Their terrible taste usually does the trick. On eating them, they first prepare your cervix to expel whatever is in the uterus. Following that, they help produce increased oxytocin, which speeds up contractions inside your body.

Although these herbs are one of the most effective and safest home remedies for a miscarriage, taking them in high amounts can cause dangerous side effects to your body. So it is best to consult a health expert or a trusted doctor to recommend what is the correct dosage for you in order to undergo a harmless miscarriage.

4. Dong Quai

This herb is often used to reduce menstrual pain or help with reproductive issues. However, it is also a substance which can boost your uterus and increase the strength of contractions, making it an excellent home remedy for a natural miscarriage. You can either take it in tea with boiling water, or use dong quai supplements, or even take it in combination with other herbs like blue or black cohosh.

But, as mentioned earlier, although such herbs are safe when taken in regulated amounts, remember never to overdo it with the dosage as it may cause medical complications. Always consult a doctor or physician before making use of it!

5. Parsley

This is also a good ingredient if you want a natural and harmless method to induce a miscarriage, as it has a high content of vitamin C. All you have to do is steep a small bunch of parsley in a cup of boiling water and drink the parsley tea 2-3 times on a daily basis. You can also prepare a bunch of sprigs and put it directly into your vaginal cavity.

6. Sepia and Sabina

Sabina and sepia are both homoeopathic herbal remedies that can induce a harmless natural miscarriage by helping in removing the tissues left behind during an incomplete miscarriage. However, a word of caution is that although these herbs are very effective, they do cause a fair amount of pain, so make sure you are not doing any kind of activity while taking them. It is a good idea to consult a herbalist or doctor prior to taking them too.

7. Pomegranate

The pomegranate fruit has seeds which contain a high amount of uterine contraction stimulating substances. Taking it during the early period of pregnancy will increase your chances of having a naturally induced miscarriage.

8. Green Papaya

Green papaya contains enzymes and pus which can cause contractions and miscarriages. Drinking green papaya juice can thus naturally induce a miscarriage and is one of the more common methods to do so.

9. Cheese

Eating cheese is another method to induce a natural miscarriage at home, as they have compounds which contain miscarriage-causing bacteria. You can choose from a wide variety of cheeses like camembert cheese, feta cheese, and other Mexican cheeses.

10. Intense Exercise

Usually, during pregnancy, the body is in a fragile state and your uterus is just getting used to keeping the foetus is a healthy state. In such a time, putting your body through excess strain is not recommended by doctors as it will cause one to miscarry.

Intense exercise, rigorous workouts and heavy lifting are therefore natural ways to induce a miscarriage. However, it is better to do it according to a proper workout regime as improper exercise can lead to harming your own body.

There are other ways to induce a natural miscarriage without any invasive procedures as well, such as yoga, acupuncture, caffeine, cupping,  and so on but the ten ways above are the most commonly used remedies.

Complications Associated with Abortion and Miscarriage

Natural miscarriages are, as you can see, quite straightforward and simple. They can be induced by a variety of home remedies which are safe and easily procurable. The downside is that sometimes there is pain involved which you will have to bear.

Now that you know the pros of natural miscarriages, it is always best to know the cons as well. We will see below what complications can arise (and in many cases, do arise) during a natural miscarriage or abortion:

1. Pre-existing Medical Conditions

If you already have a medical condition at the time of your miscarriage, like diabetes, epilepsy, high blood pressure or complications affecting vital organs like your heart, kidneys and lungs, then you may end up suffering from serious side effects. It is very important to consult a doctor if you have a medical condition, before trying to self-induce a miscarriage.

2. Medication

Likewise, if you are choosing to take herbs to induce a miscarriage and are also taking medication for some pre-existing medical condition, make sure to check whether the herbs can counteract with the medication. If so, then it is better to abstain from that method.

3. Herbs and Supplements

High amounts or dosage of any herb can be fatal to your body as toxicity levels can rise extremely high. Always consult your doctor regarding the dosage of herb to take before using it to induce a natural miscarriage.

4. Foetal Tissue

Sometimes, some tissue can still remain in the uterus following a miscarriage. If it comes out naturally, there is nothing to be worried about. If it remains in the body, however, then it may pose a serious health risk and therefore, has to be removed by a medical professional.

5. Late-stage Miscarriage

A miscarriage gets riskier and riskier as the pregnancy continues into a later stage. If you are past your first trimester, it is best to consult with a doctor as proceeding to do a miscarriage by yourself will put your safety at risk.

After a natural miscarriage at home, there are certain precautions you have to take and certain warnings to watch out for:

• Go to a doctor to be a hundred percent sure you’ve had a complete miscarriage and the entire foetal tissue has been expelled out of your body.

• Heavy bleeding is not a good sign. If after your miscarriage, you experience heavy bleeding accompanied by fever, aches, pain or a foul-smelling vaginal discharge, visit the emergency room.

• Avoid activities like swimming and intercourse for a few weeks after a successful natural miscarriage. You can start once after the bleeding has completely stopped.

It is always important to involve a doctor if you are trying to induce a miscarriage as this is the only way you will know you are using the safest and most reliable method. A medical abortion is for all practical purposes the best choice, but many women everywhere induce natural miscarriages for their own reasons and privacy. If you are deciding to take this step, then hopefully this article can give you all the information for a safe and healthy natural miscarriage.

Overview

What is a miscarriage?

A miscarriage (also called a spontaneous abortion) is the unexpected ending of a pregnancy in the first 20 weeks of gestation. Just because it’s called a “miscarriage” doesn’t mean you did something wrong in carrying the pregnancy. Most miscarriages are beyond your control and occur because the fetus stops growing.

Types of miscarriage

Your pregnancy care provider may diagnose you with the following types of miscarriage:

• Missed miscarriage: You’ve lost the pregnancy but are unaware it’s happened. There are no symptoms of miscarriage, but an ultrasound confirms the fetus has no heartbeat.
• Complete miscarriage: You’ve lost the pregnancy and your uterus is empty. You’ve experienced bleeding and passed fetal tissue. Your provider can confirm a complete miscarriage with an ultrasound.
• Recurrent miscarriage: Three consecutive miscarriages. It affects about 1% of couples.
• Threatened miscarriage: Your cervix stays closed, but you’re bleeding and experiencing pelvic cramping. The pregnancy typically continues with no further issues. Your pregnancy care provider may monitor you more closely for the rest of your pregnancy.
• Inevitable miscarriage: You’re bleeding, cramping and your cervix has started to open (dilate). You may leak amniotic fluid. A complete miscarriage is likely.

How do I know if I’m having a miscarriage?

You may not be aware you’re having a miscarriage. In people who have symptoms of a miscarriage, the most common signs are:

• Bleeding that progresses from light to heavy. You may also pass grayish tissue or blood clots.
• Cramps and abdominal pain (usually worse than menstrual cramps).
• Low back ache that may range from mild to severe.
• A decrease in pregnancy symptoms.

Contact your pregnancy care provider right away if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms. They will tell you to come into the office or go to the emergency room.

Symptoms and Causes

What causes miscarriage?

Chromosomal abnormalities cause about 50% of all miscarriages in the first trimester (up to 13 weeks) of pregnancy. Chromosomes are tiny structures inside the cells of your body that carry your genes. Genes determine all of a person’s physical attributes, such as assigned sex, hair and eye color and blood type.

During fertilization, when the egg and sperm join, two sets of chromosomes come together. If an egg or sperm has more or fewer chromosomes than normal, the fetus will have an abnormal number. As a fertilized egg grows into a fetus, its cells divide and multiply several times. Abnormalities during this process also leads to miscarriage.

Most chromosomal problems occur by chance. It’s not completely known why this happens.

Several factors may cause miscarriage:

• Infection.
• Exposure to TORCH diseases.
• Hormonal imbalances.
• Improper implantation of fertilized egg in your uterine lining.
• How old you are.
• Uterine abnormalities.
• Incompetent cervix (your cervix begins to open too early in pregnancy).
• Lifestyle factors such as smoking, drinking alcohol or using recreational drugs.
• Disorders of the immune system like lupus.
• Severe kidney disease.
• Congenital heart disease.
• Diabetes that isn't managed.
• Thyroid disease.
• Radiation.
• Certain medicines, such as the acne drug isotretinoin (Accutane®).
• Severe malnutrition.

There is no scientific proof that stress, exercise, sexual activity or prolonged use of birth control pills cause miscarriage. Whatever your situation is, it’s important to not blame yourself for having a miscarriage. Most miscarriages have nothing to do with something you did or didn’t do.

How painful is a miscarriage?

Miscarriages are different for every person. Some people have painful cramping, while other people have cramps similar to their menstrual period. The type of miscarriage you have may also affect your pain level. For example, if you have a complete miscarriage at home, you may have more pain than a person who has a missed miscarriage and has a surgical procedure to remove the pregnancy.

What happens first during a miscarriage?

It’s hard to say what happens first during a miscarriage because everyone’s symptoms are different. Sometimes there are no signs of miscarriage, and you find out at a prenatal ultrasound that you’ve lost the pregnancy. Most people will experience some degree of cramping and bleeding, but what happens first varies.

How long does a miscarriage take?

It depends. Some people have painful cramping and heavy bleeding longer than others. Your pregnancy care provider can tell you what to expect and give you advice on how to manage pain and cramps during your miscarriage.

What are the risk factors for a miscarriage?

A risk factor is a trait or behavior that increases a person’s chance of developing a disease or condition. Risk factors for miscarriage include:

• Your age: Studies show that the risk of miscarriage is 12% to 15% for people in their 20s and rises to about 25% for people by age 40. Most age-related miscarriages happen because of a chromosomal abnormality (the fetus has missing or extra chromosomes).
• Previous miscarriage: You have a 25% chance of having another miscarriage (only slightly higher than someone who hasn’t had a miscarriage) if you’ve already had one.
• Health conditions: Certain health conditions like unmanaged diabetes, infections or issues with your uterus or cervix increase your chance of miscarriage.

Talk to your pregnancy care provider about the risk factors for miscarriage. They can discuss your risk after they’ve reviewed your medical history.

How many people have miscarriages?

Between 10% and 20% of all known pregnancies end in miscarriage. Most miscarriages (80%) happen within the first three months of pregnancy (up to 13 weeks of pregnancy). Less than 5% of miscarriages occur after 20 weeks’ gestation.The rate of miscarriage may be higher if you consider miscarriages that happen shortly after implantation. A person may not realize they’re pregnant because bleeding happens around the time of their menstrual period. This is called a chemical pregnancy.

What is my risk of miscarriage by week?

Your risk of pregnancy loss declines each week you’re pregnant. Around 15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Miscarriage risk in the second trimester (13 to 19 weeks) is between 1% and 5%. Many factors affect your risk of miscarriage such as your age and health. However, everyone’s risk of miscarriage declines each week of pregnancy if the pregnant person has no other health conditions.

Diagnosis and Tests

How is a miscarriage diagnosed?

Your pregnancy care provider will perform an ultrasound test to confirm a miscarriage. These tests check for fetal heartbeat or the presence of a yolk sac (one of the first fetal structures your provider can see on ultrasound).

You may also have a blood test to measure human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced by the placenta. A low hCG level can confirm a miscarriage.

Finally, your provider may perform a pelvic exam to check if your cervix has opened.

Management and Treatment

What are the treatments for a miscarriage?

If you experience the loss of a pregnancy, the fetus must be removed from your uterus. If any parts of the pregnancy are left inside your body, you could experience infection, bleeding or other complications.

If the miscarriage is complete and your uterus expels all the fetal tissue, then no further treatment is usually needed. Your pregnancy care provider will conduct an ultrasound to make sure there’s nothing left in your uterus.

If your body doesn’t remove all the tissue on its own or you haven’t started to bleed, your pregnancy care provider will recommend removing the tissue with medication or surgery.

Nonsurgical treatment

Your pregnancy care provider may recommend waiting to see if you pass the pregnancy on your own. This may be the case if you have a missed miscarriage. Waiting for a miscarriage to start could take several days. If waiting to pass the tissue isn’t safe or you wish to remove the tissue as soon as possible, they may recommend taking a medication that helps your uterus pass the pregnancy. These options are typically only available if you’ve miscarried before 10 weeks of pregnancy.

If a miscarriage wasn’t confirmed, but you had symptoms of a miscarriage, your provider may prescribe bed rest for several days. You might be admitted to the hospital overnight for observation. When the bleeding stops, you may be able to continue with your normal activities. If your cervix is dilated, they may diagnose you with an incompetent cervix, and they may perform a procedure to close your cervix (cervical cerclage).

Surgical treatment

Your provider may perform a dilation and curettage (D&C) or dilation and evacuation (D&E) if your uterus hasn’t passed the pregnancy or if you’re bleeding heavily. Surgery may also be the only option if your pregnancy is beyond 10 weeks’ gestation. During these procedures, your cervix is dilated, and any remaining pregnancy-related tissue is gently scraped or suctioned out of your uterus. Your provider performs these surgeries in a hospital, and you’ll be under anesthesia.

What are some of the symptoms after a miscarriage?

Spotting and mild discomfort are common symptoms after a miscarriage.

Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you have any of these symptoms as it could be signs of an infection:

• Heavy bleeding or worsening bleeding.
• Fever.
• Chills.
• Intense pain.

Don’t put anything inside your vagina for at least two weeks after a miscarriage. This includes tampons, sexual intercourse and fingers or sex toys. Your provider will schedule a follow-up appointment with you to discuss your recovery and any complications.

What tests should I have after repeat miscarriages?

Blood tests or genetic tests might be necessary if you’ve more than three miscarriages in a row (called repeated miscarriage). These include:

• Genetic tests: You and your partner can have blood tests, like karyotyping, to check for chromosome abnormalities. If tissue from the miscarriage is available, your provider may be able to test it for chromosome irregularities.
• Blood tests: You may have a blood test to check for autoimmune or hormone conditions that could be causing miscarriages.

Your provider may also look at your uterus using one of the following procedures:

• Hysterosalpingogram (an X-ray dye test of your uterus and fallopian tubes).
• Hysteroscopy (a test during which your provider views the inside of your uterus with a thin, telescope-like device).
• Laparoscopy (a procedure during which your provider views the pelvic organs with a lighted device).

Prevention

How can I prevent another miscarriage?

It’s usually not possible to prevent a miscarriage. If you have a miscarriage, it’s not because you did something to cause it. Taking care of your body is the best thing you can do. Some examples of ways to care for yourself include:

• Attending all your prenatal care appointments.
• Maintaining a weight that's healthy for you.
• Avoiding risk factors for miscarriage like drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes.
• Taking a prenatal vitamin.
• Getting regular exercise and eating a healthy diet.

Outlook / Prognosis

Can I get pregnant after I’ve had a miscarriage?

Yes. Most people (87%) who have miscarriages have subsequent normal pregnancies and births. Having a miscarriage doesn’t necessarily mean you have a fertility problem. Remember, most miscarriages occur because of a chromosomal abnormality, not because of something you did.

How soon can I get pregnant after a miscarriage?

The decision on when you should begin trying to get pregnant again is between you and your pregnancy care provider. Most people can get pregnant again after they’ve had one “normal” menstrual period.

Taking time to heal both physically and emotionally after a miscarriage is important. Counseling is available to help you cope with your loss. A pregnancy loss support group might also be a valuable resource to you and your partner. Ask your healthcare provider for more information about counseling and support groups. Above all, don’t blame yourself for the miscarriage. Take the time you need to grieve.

If you’ve had three miscarriages in a row, ask your provider about performing tests to figure out an underlying cause. You should use birth control until you receive the results. After your provider reviews the test results, they may suggest going off birth control and trying to conceive again.

Living With

How can I cope with my miscarriage?

Losing a pregnancy can be devastating and leave you with a range of emotions and lots of questions. Healing emotionally from a miscarriage is often harder and longer than the physical healing. Take the time you need to grieve your loss. Talk to your partner, friends and family about your feelings or find a pregnancy loss support group online. Surround yourself with supportive people or seek professional counseling to help you cope with the loss.

A note from Cleveland Clinic

A miscarriage is a very emotional moment for expectant parents and it’s natural to grieve the loss. Remember that a miscarriage can’t be prevented, and it’s not caused by something you did wrong. It doesn’t mean that you can’t have children or that you’ll have another miscarriage. If you’re planning to become pregnant, reach out to your healthcare provider to discuss the timing of your next pregnancy and ask any questions you have. It’s OK to be sad. Find support from family, friends online support groups or a licensed counselor.
