INTRODUCTION
• All reproductive events -- childbearing,
miscarriage, infertility, abortion -- can be
significant stressors in women's lives.
However, emotional stress plays a important
role in miscarriage. Also various drugs also
play a role in abortion, followed by a few food
products.
DRUG RELATED PROPHYLAXIS
For a pregnant woman, drug abuse is doubly
dangerous. First, drugs may harm her own health,
interfering with her ability to support the
pregnancy. Second, some drugs can directly impair
prenatal development.
DRUG RELATED PROPHYLAXIS
All illegal drugs usage such as heroin, cocaine, marijuana
propose a risk for abortion so the above should not be taken
when one is pregnant.
Other medical drugs such as:• Anticonvulsants
• Antimigraine drugs
• NSAIDs
• Anticoagulant drugs
Should be avoided during pregnancy to prevent abortion.
EMOTIONAL PROPHYLAXIS
THESE EMOTINAL SITUTATIONS SHOULD BE
AVOIDED
Emotional actions and reactions of others affect a
pregnant woman's state of mental health which in
turn affects the fetus.
High stress levels in a woman also
leads to mental imbalance and can
lead to abortion.
Sudden bad news such as a relative
or friends demise will also affect the
emotional wellbeing of the pregnant
woman.
FOOD PRODUCTS PROPHYLAXIS
Foods to be avoided during pregnancy that
have a risk for abortion:-
 Alcohol
 Soft cheeses such as mexican
queso blanco
Pâtés or Meat Spreads:Pâtés contain perishable meats, so they may
harbour listeria which leads to abortion.
Unpasteurized Milk
Papaya:Although a fully ripe papaya is not considered
dangerous, a papaya that is at all unripe
contains a latex substance that triggers
uterine contractions and may cause a
miscarriage.

should be avoided in pregnancy to
prevent abortion, this is the
prophylaxis for abortion.
