10 Signs of A Miscarriage

Miscarriage Sign #2: Abdominal Cramping
Another common sign of a miscarriage is abdominal cramping. Even though women tend to have contractions and cramping every now and then during pregnancy, cramping because of a miscarriage tends to become progressively stronger and they are accompanied by other signs and symptoms like vaginal bleeding, back pain, a sharp and persistent pain, etc.
Abdominal cramping and contractions during pregnancy are the so-called Braxton-Hicks contractions which occur because of the uterus expanding as the fetus grows and develops each day. These contractions prepare the woman’s body for childbirth when the real time comes. Braxton–Hicks contractions tend to start earlier with each pregnancy.
