Why is 7 weeks the popular week for miscarriage??

Question

I can't help but notice...but so many women have miscarriages at 7 weeks! Is it because it's a the critical certain point of development, and if it doesn't have what it needs to go on it ends?
I know they say first trimester miscarriages are a 15-20 percent chance...but as popular as 7 weeks is....I almost want to say once you hit 8 weeks/ 2 months your chance goes down to like 10 percent

Answer 1

Most women miscarry at 7 weeks because genetic deficentcies are often present at this time. Alot of times sponanteous mis carriage occur because the body has detected that the fetus is either exceptionally physically or mentally deformed. Now in regards to miscarriage with no explination it could be the condition of the uterus at the time of implantation. Some women (which i feel terrible for) just cannot carry a fetus to term. With no medical explination.

Answer 2

I've never heard of that. All I know is that most miscarriages happen before 12 weeks. Some women have them really early (a few weeks pregnant) and don't even know it. They just think its a late, heavy period. After 12 weeks it's more rare and a lot more traumatic to have a miscarriage.

Answer 3

7 weeks is not consider popular for miscarriages. It can happen earlier or later in pregnancy.

I had one at 10 weeks.

There are many reasons why a miscarriage happens.

Answer 4

i've never heard that 7 weeks is a "popular week" for miscarraige, but i can surmise that the reason is that the baby's heart starts beating at around 6 weeks in pregnancy.. if this doesnt occur, the body would probably reject it and cause a miscarraige shortly thereafter.

Answer 5

Hey I didn't know it was a 'popular week' but I can't discount that info cause it happened to me.

Answer 6

Nature arranged it that way based on experience it gathered through evolution...
It gets rid of inferior fetuses which are useless and disadvantageous for healthy reproduction.
