Question 1

is it safe to resume breastfeeding again after a miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is completely safe to resume breastfeeding. Sorry for your loss.

Question 2

i experienced 2 periods in less than 20 days that were both extremely heavy to soak a pad in less than 2 hours. no cramps or pain. i am still breastfeeding for 1 year. can this be normal due to breastfeeding or miscarriage that i didnt know about?

Accepted Answer

: Breastfeeding, especially after 6 months postpartum is not an effective method of contraception. There is no way to know if this was a miscarriage unless you tested for pregnancy or hCG. As your child gets older and drinks less breastmilk, your hormones will begin to return to normal and may lead to irregular periods. Use an effective alternative form of birth control.

Question 3

my first actual period since having a baby has been heavy and lasted for 2 weeks than it returned few days later. but i have no cramps at all! could it be a miscarriage that i didnt know about or just irregular period due to breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

: After having a baby, it takes a long time - up to a year - before your body is close to it's prior state.  Periods can be irregular whether or not you are breastfeeding, even just because of the upheaval of having a new member of the family.   Very unlikely this was a miscarriage.

Question 4

i use top. cream for tendinitis and 8 weeks pregnant. i found out it contains camphor which can cause me to miscarry/harm my baby. what is the safest alternative for me now through breastfeeding. i have wrist tendinitis, worry about holding my baby ?

Accepted Answer

Doubt any affect: Over the counter creams and lotions don't penetrate the skin deep enough to have any of their component chemicals enter the blood. To affect the fetus it must be in the blood. Things you eat,drink or inhale can enter the blood which is where there is risk. I would stop worrying about past exposure. If anything else works as well you can surely change, but I'm not convinces you need to.

Question 5

how can i induce miscarriage by abdominal massage?

Accepted Answer

Don't...: If you are pregnant and not wanting to carry the pregnancy to term I suggest that you do the safest thing for YOUR HEALTH and seek a medical abortion.  See a healthcare provider immediately to discuss options (the sooner in the pregnancy this decision is made, the safer it is for you!)

Question 6

can abdominal massage induce miscarriage? if it can, how will i know if it worked?
any symptoms?

Accepted Answer

No: The amount of pressure one would have to use to cause a miscarriage would cause injury to you as well.  Please do not try to use this as a form of abortion.

Question 7

what is the best way to induce a natural miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

America is beyond...: Fortunately, America is beyond that (that was before modern medicine and before getting rid of laws against inducing miscarriage). Any woman who needs to induce a miscarriage (easier to say abortion), such as if her early fetus has a genetic defect or other severe birth defect, can get help from her Ob-Gyn doctor. The doctor has good, reliable ways to do this ("natural" is not in the picture).

Question 8

can mono induce a miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The uterus is not one of the organs it usually attacks.

Question 9

can sit ups cause a miscarriage, and how can i naturally induce a miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

No: Mild or moderate exercise is fine to do during pregnancy, until the baby bump is big. About 15% of pregnancies naturally miscarry, which is about 1 out of every 7 pregnancies. If a woman wants to "get rid" of her baby fetus for whatever reason, that's either an elective or a therapeutic abortion. In the U.S., women are free to ask their doctors about the options, including baby adoption. Just ask.

Question 10

will rubbing rosemary essential oil on your stomach really induce a miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

No : Herbal treatments to induce miscarriage do not work reliably enough well to be used, and i don't know what kinds of side effects it could cause.
