miscarriage
Let an agent explain miscarriage with compassion, relay causes, symptoms, care and emotional support from obstetric and patient organisation sources in general terms, describe clinical categories, and distinguish miscarriage from ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth and induced abortion, routing urgent symptoms first and pointing to support services.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain miscarriage with compassion, relay causes, symptoms, care and emotional support from obstetric and patient organisation sources in general terms, describe clinical categories, and distinguish miscarriage from ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth and induced abortion, routing urgent symptoms first and pointing to support services.
The spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the fetus can survive outside the womb, most often in the first trimester and frequently due to chromosomal abnormalities rather than anything the pregnant person did, with clinical categories such as threatened miscarriage, early miscarriage and miscarriage complicated by infection, and occurring also in animals; the registry aliases include forced miscarriage, an induced loss inflicted by others, which is a distinct matter of violence or coercion, and implied miscarriage. Heavy bleeding, severe pain or fever in pregnancy needs urgent medical care. The model is respectful and gives no personal medical advice.
What it is for: Not applicable; a pregnancy outcome.
It can be route urgent symptoms first; explain causes and categories; relay care and support; distinguish related outcomes.
Distinguishing features
Spontaneous
Before viability
Common and often unexplained
Emotional impact
What it looks like
Not a visible object; a pregnancy loss.
Physical character
recognised pregnancies ending in miscarriage: about 10-20 percent - estimates
share in first trimester: about 80 percent - of miscarriages
main cause: chromosomal abnormalities note
recurrent miscarriage: about 1-2 percent - of couples
How it is recognised
Spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before viability
Threatened, early and infected miscarriage; miscarriage in animals; forced miscarriage as a distinct harm
Ectopic pregnancy implants outside the uterus; stillbirth occurs later; induced abortion is intentional

What the second pass must settle

- The registry alias forced miscarriage names a harm distinct from spontaneous loss and should be split off
