El tabú de los abortos espontáneos

The taboo of miscarriages

When we hear the word abortion, it is generally thought that it is because the woman did not want to have the baby, but the reality is very far from this in many cases.

Many women who lost a pregnancy have told me that it was due to a miscarriage. They are also known as miscarriage or miscarriage. I had three late spontaneous abortions, that means that I lost two pregnancies after 12 weeks of gestation, in my case with approximately 5 months of pregnancy each time.

Losing a baby does not have to be a reason for guilt or grief, it is something that happens naturally and in many cases you cannot control it, so if you feel better talking about it, do so. Perhaps what you need is to find a person who knows how to listen to you. He may not understand you one hundred percent because he hasn't been through it, but it probably makes you feel better or at least listens to you and you feel better downloading.

If they tell you not to talk about it or not to cry, you are probably leaning on the wrong person.

You are the only one who knows how your body works, so if you feel something strange, go to the doctor. Never take it for granted that everything is fine, especially if someone other than you tells you something like "Don't worry, that's sure it's normal, you have a baby inside sometimes you have pain."

Yes, it is true, there is the possibility of having some pain related to pregnancy, but if you are a first-timer, how do you know that it is normal? And if it's your second, third or fourth child, how do you know that everything is okay? They say that all pregnancies are different and I agree with this.

This is not to alarm you, it is so that you become aware and do not stop attending your prenatal check-ups. Do not make movements that make you or your baby uncomfortable. If you do any kind of sport, always do it with caution and above all, know your limits. You will have time to resume your daily activities and if you need help, ask for it when necessary.

It is better to prevent than to lose your baby or have it premature, that is clear, I tell you that I went through this and I do not wish it on any pregnant woman.

If you have a pregnant friend who you think is at some risk or who doesn't see their doctor, tell them about your concern. As I always say "He would not exist", do it and do not think about it anymore, it is better for him to get upset and at least think about it than for you as a friend, sister or mother to feel bad for not talking about the well-being of that baby and look for the best possible future hand in hand with her mother.
