It is a good idea to rest for a few days before starting your daily routine, but even returning in a day or two does not cause harm to your body. Most women return in 1 week. Sexual intercourse is allowed when bleeding and abdominal pain stop. The next pregnancy can be achieved according to your doctor&#8217;s instructions.<br \/>You should know that because you have had a miscarriage, you are not at increased risk for another one. However, if another one follows, then it should be investigated whether there is a specific cause that caused them.<br \/>It is a good idea to take 400mg of folic acid before the next pregnancy until at least the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, have a balanced diet, stop smoking and do not drink alcohol, as it increases the risk of miscarriage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-133a7421 e-con-full e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"133a7421\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;video&quot;,&quot;background_video_link&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/TMZtZtylxI4&quot;,&quot;background_play_on_mobile&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_privacy_mode&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-video-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-video-embed\" role=\"presentation\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c4d33df e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1c4d33df\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7dbcf5c1 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7dbcf5c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>High-quality medical services from Obstetrician-Gynecologist Alexandros Mainas, in Komotini.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37b9323e elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"37b9323e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"\/en\/epikoinonia\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-arrow-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M190.5 66.9l22.2-22.2c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0L441 239c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L246.6 467.3c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.2-22.2c-9.5-9.5-9.3-25 .4-34.3L311.4 296H24c-13.3 0-24-10.7-24-24v-32c0-13.3 10.7-24 24-24h287.4L190.9 101.2c-9.8-9.3-10-24.8-.4-34.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Make an appointment with the doctor<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early Miscarriage Causes &amp; Symptoms of Pregnancy Loss Therapeutic treatment by Gynecologist Alexandros Mainas What is an early miscarriage?
