Can you have a miscarriage at three months pregnant?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I am three months pregnant. I heard that the first three months of pregnancy are the most unstable and it's especially easy to have a miscarriage. I recently caught a cold and took medication. I don't know if it will have any side effects on the baby. I'm feeling very upset and don't know whether I should have an abortion or keep the baby. If I engage in strenuous exercise, will I have a miscarriage at three months pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is advised that we should avoid taking any medication after becoming pregnant. A small amount of oral intake of ordinary cold medicine has minimal impact on the fetus. In such cases, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination. At four months, a Down syndrome screening can be performed. If considering an abortion, it is best to go to a reputable hospital. Avoid inducing miscarriage through strenuous exercise, as this can cause significant harm to the pregnant woman's uterus.
