About Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the vessels. Blood pressure is determined by the heart’s output and resistance to blood flow in the vessels. If either of these factors changes and there are no compensating changes, blood pressure will change.Blood pressure is a good measure of the health of a person's heart and blood vessels. Higher than normal blood pressure is called hypertension.
About Miscarriage
Miscarriage is the term for losing a pregnancy before term. It usually happens spontaneously and often the exact reasons are unknown. Sometimes in very early miscarriages the mother may not even know that she was pregnant. About 10 to 20% of known pregnancies end in early miscarriage. A miscarriage is the body’s way of saying that the fetus was abnormal and not growing correctly so the uterus expels the embryo.
