Loss of a fetus usually occurs within the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. It is the most common complication with pregnancy. Most often it is the body’s way of terminating a pregnancy of a fetus that was deformed and unable to live. However, loss of a fetus during the second trimester is usually due to the mother’s health. Whatever the timing, it is often very emotionally difficult for the excited parents-to-be. Dr. Metcalfe suggests that your body be at its healthiest and to be in the best physical and mental condition when you are ready to conceive. There are many ways to achieve this level of health and wellness, and its never too late to start. Remember that health and wellness is important for the father-to-be as well, as his genes are an equally important contribution.
