Narrative:

I was advised by a flight attendant that we had a passenger with a possible miscarriage. I was in the main cabin at the time on break as we were flying 3 pilot to give the relief pilot the landing. I went to check out the passenger. We had an emt on board who advised us of the situation. He felt she was ok to go to mia as the other options were kingston or havana. She was laying across the 3 seats with minimal bleeding. Passenger was 10 weeks pregnant and 44 yrs old. We declared a medical emergency for priority and received direct routing with coordination from havana and miami ctrs. We advised dispatch and had the physician on call available if matters changed. The paramedics met the flight and took the passenger to the hospital. The flight crew did a super job, along with dispatch and operations at mia.
