The most common cause of pregnancy loss is chromosomal problems. In other words, the embryo is not viable. Seeing a heartbeat indicates that the embryo was able to form a functioning heart.

Heart rate abnormalities that are signs of fetal distress: Tachycardia (an abnormally fast heart rate) Bradycardia (an abnormally slow heart rate) Variable decelerations (abrupt decreases in heart rate) Late decelerations (late returns to the baseline heart rate after a contraction)

If you are pregnant, have no vaginal bleeding, and are without other risk factors (such as being older, smoking, drinking, or having an infection), most estimates suggest that your odds of having a miscarriage after seeing a fetal heartbeat are about 4%.

Most of the time, they're caused by stress and anxiety, or because you've had too much caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol. They can also happen when you're pregnant. In rare cases, palpitations can be a sign of a more serious heart condition.

Electric shock injuries in pregnant women are rare events. The uterus and amniotic fluid are thought to be ex- cellent conductors of electric current which reaches the fetus causing cardiac arrest and fetal death.

Can Exercise Cause Miscarriage? Exercising or picking up a (reasonably) heavy object—a grocery bag, a toddler, or the like—are extremely unlikely to cause a miscarriage. In fact, most experts agree that exercise during pregnancy, with your doctor's approval, can lower miscarriage risk and make mom and baby healthier.

Most of the time, heart palpitations do not lead to any complications during pregnancy. A healthy heart can deal with the extra blood and faster heartbeat that comes along with pregnancy, but if you had a heart condition before becoming pregnant, pregnancy can make it worse.

Pregnancy loss in the second trimester can be the result of a very preterm delivery (like a spontaneous miscarriage in the second trimester) or death of the fetus (called a fetal demise). About 2-3% of pregnancies will be lost in the second trimester, a rate that is much lower than in the first trimester.

A heart murmur is the sound of blood being pumped through the heart's chambers and valves. An arrhythmia is when the heart does not beat at a regular pace. Arrhythmias can be caused by birth defects, heart disease, high blood pressure, and various factors during pregnancy. Anyone can have a heart murmur or arrhythmia.

“Low hCG levels may represent a very early pregnancy or a pregnancy that is ending in miscarriage,” says Dr. Lang. Other causes include blighted ovum (the fertilized egg fails to develop properly) and ectopic pregnancy (the embryo implanted somewhere outside of the uterus – usually the fallopian tube).

Bleeding during pregnancy loss occurs when the uterus empties. In some cases, the fetus dies but the womb does not empty, and a woman will experience no bleeding. Some doctors refer to this type of pregnancy loss as a missed miscarriage. The loss may go unnoticed for many weeks, and some women do not seek treatment.

When a heartbeat is too fast, too slow or irregular, the heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the body. Arrhythmias can be associated with serious symptoms that can affect your ability to function. Lack of blood flow can damage the brain, heart and other organs.

The most common causes of intrapartum bradycardia include poor uterine perfusion, maternal hypotension (e.g. after epidural placement), umbilical cord prolapse or occlusion, rapid fetal descent, tachysystole, placental abruption, or uterine rupture.

The pregnancy separates from the uterus and passes out of the body. Miscarriage is not caused by the activities of a healthy pregnant woman, such as jumping, vigorous exercise, and frequent vaginal intercourse. Trauma causes miscarriage only very rarely. Stress and emotional shock do not cause miscarriage either.
