چکیده

Pregnancy is a significant event in a woman’s life, and emotional attachment to the pregnancy and developing baby may begin early in the first trimester. For most women, experiencing a first trimester loss is a difficult and vulnerable time. When it occurs, the grief can be as profound as for any perinatal or other major loss [1]. Spontaneous abortion (a pregnancy that ends spontaneously before the fetus has reached a viable gestational age) is among the most common complications of pregnancy. Approximately 12–15% of recognized pregnancies and 17–22% of all pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion [2, 3]. The best-documented risk factors for spontaneous abortion are advanced maternal age, a previous spontaneous abortion, and maternal smoking. Most spontaneous abortions are attributed to structural or chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo.
