Summary

Early miscarriage (EM) is defined as the spontaneous expulsion of an intrauterine pregnancy of less than 14 weeks' duration. Early miscarriage is a very common complication, affecting more than 10% of pregnancies. Because of its frequency, EM is often considered a trivial event, particularly by healthcare professionals.

However, for the women who experience it, EM can be a traumatic event, difficult to discuss with their families, and a source of worries and questions for subsequent pregnancies. The international literature is consistent on the psychological morbidity associated with miscarriage: anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder have been studied in women following CPT. The identification of a history of EM by doctors is therefore important for the overall management of women's health.

The 2021 National Perinatal Survey showed that less than 5% of pregnant women in France had their first six months of pregnancy monitored by a general practitioner, a proportion that has been steadily declining in recent years. The majority of women are monitored by a gynecologist, or in 40% of cases by a midwife. These professionals therefore appear to be the preferred point of contact for women in the event of a miscarriage. In the absence of specific information, either from the woman herself or from the healthcare professional who treated her, the general practitioner-the attending physician may remain unaware of this event in their patient's life. Under these circumstances, identifying a history of EM in the general practitioner's medical records may not be sufficient.
