Could you tell me what happens when you have a miscarrige and do not do anything about it.?

Usually nothing: Most miscarriages will be 'complete' which means that everything cleans out on its own. However, if the bleeding and pain persist then further treatment (like a d&c) may be necessary.

A 47-year-old member asked:
Is it possible to miscarry from being allergic?

Confusing question: I suppose you mean a baby in the womb. Babies do not have a well developed immune system during gestation.Their reaction to maternal intake of peanuts or other potential triggers is unlikely to trigger an event.Blood group (rh factor) reactions could be considered allergic but they involve a separate pathway than what we consider allergies.I can't recall anything that would act this way.
