Little embryo The smallest little embryo with its amniotic sac ! How many weeks old is it in your opinion ?
💉 This is a case of a miscarriage ( or spontaneous abortion ) , which is the spontaneous loss of a fetus before the 20th week of pregnancy , or in this case even before the 12th week . Keep in mind that miscarriage is a naturally occurring event due to some complications and has nothing to do with medical or surgical abortions , or any interruption of the pregnancy !
The common reasons pregnancies miscarry are chromosome problems , abnormal physical development or an abnormal placental development . Other causes can be infections , uterine problems diseases of the mother ( diabetes , lupus , thyroid disease ) , trauma , and unhealthy lifestyle ( obesity , drug and alcohol use ) .
