A member asked:
What is the difference between miscarriage and abortion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intentional or not: A miscarriage is a pregnancy that ends unintentionally in the first half of pregnancy (before 20 weeks). An abortion is a pregnancy that is intentionally ended at any stage in pregnancy, for medical or non-medical reasons. An abortion is also known as a termination of pregnancy. Many pregnancies that miscarry are genetically abnormal, but women should consult a specialist after 2 miscarriages.
