What should I do if I have a miscarriage at 40 days of pregnancy?

A baby is a great fortune to mothers. Having a baby makes them feel like they have the whole world. However, with the arrival of the baby, various diseases will follow, and serious cases may even lead to miscarriage. So today, we will ask authoritative experts to explain to you the reasons for miscarriage at 40 days of pregnancy and what to do.

There are many reasons for threatened miscarriage, such as poor fetal condition, accidental collision, etc. It is not that threatened miscarriage has any impact on the baby, but it may be caused by poor fetal condition or other reasons. It is recommended to try to protect the fetus first. You can do a good pregnancy check-up and do a four-dimensional color ultrasound examination at 22-26 weeks of pregnancy to understand the development of the fetus and whether there are any deformities. Threatened abortion refers to a small amount of vaginal bleeding or accompanied by lower back pain, abdominal pain, and prolapse before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Traditional Chinese medicine calls threatened abortion "fetal leakage". If the fetus moves restlessly and develops further, there may be a risk of miscarriage or miscarriage. Generally speaking, if the fetus falls after three months of pregnancy and is already formed, it is called "miscarriage" or "partial birth". Modern medicine calls it "spontaneous abortion".

If after a miscarriage or abortion, the next pregnancy ends in miscarriage as expected, or if miscarriages occur repeatedly for more than three times, it is called "slippery fetus", now called "habitual abortion". Etiology and pathogenesis: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of this disease is mainly due to the instability of Chong and Ren meridians, which cannot absorb blood and nourish the fetus. Because Chong is the sea of ​​blood and Ren governs the fetus, if the Qi of Chong and Ren is solid, the fetus will be supported and nourished, and the fetus can grow and develop normally. On the contrary, diseases such as fetal leakage and fetal movement disorder may occur, which lead to the mechanism of Chong and Ren instability, which is caused by weak Qi and blood, kidney deficiency, blood heat, and trauma.

(l) Deficiency of Qi and blood: The patient is usually weak, with a long-term deficiency of the spleen and stomach, and insufficient Qi in the middle, which makes it impossible to transform food and water into fine particles, which are then sent to the heart to produce blood. Or the patient has been ill for a long time or has been seriously ill, and the body is weak. The Qi is insufficient to carry the fetus, and the blood is insufficient to nourish the fetus, thus leading to symptoms such as fetal movement disorder or fetal leakage.

(2) Kidney deficiency: congenital deficiency of kidney qi, or excessive sexual intercourse after pregnancy, or repeated miscarriages can damage kidney qi. Kidney deficiency can cause the Chong and Ren meridians to become unstable, causing the fetus to lose its anchor, thus leading to restless fetuses or miscarriage.

(3) Blood heat: After pregnancy, Yin blood gathers in the blood sea to nourish the fetus, which causes Yang Qi to be excessive. Or after pregnancy, the woman develops a fever, which causes the internal heat to disturb the blood sea, forcing the blood to flow abnormally, damaging the fetus and causing fetal leakage and restless fetal movement.

(4) Trauma: Falls, sprains, or overwork can damage the Qi and blood, affecting the Chong and Ren meridians, resulting in inability to nourish and carry the fetus, leading to fetal movement disorder. The goal of treatment for threatened abortion is to continue the pregnancy as much as possible. Generally, the following treatments should be taken:

(1) General treatment: relieve mental worries, rest in bed, get adequate nutrition, and avoid stimuli that cause uterine contractions, such as sexual intercourse, constipation, diarrhea, and repeated vaginal examinations.

(2) Drug treatment: 20 mg of progesterone acetate can be injected intramuscularly once a day for 3 to 5 days; 0.03 mg of luminal can be taken orally 3 times a day; 30 to 50 mg of vitamin E can be taken orally 3 times a day. Of course, if the threatened miscarriage is only caused by excessive fatigue, physical labor, abdominal trauma, etc., the fetus can be preserved after the doctor diagnoses that the embryo is developing healthily.

Xia Ying said that some pregnant women, after discovering threatened miscarriage, simply give up on preserving the fetus because they are worried that the drugs will affect the quality of the fetus. This is also unscientific. She stressed that pregnant women should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible if they find signs of threatened miscarriage, instead of choosing pregnancy-preserving drugs at will. Because there are many causes of threatened abortion and the treatment methods vary from person to person, if you fail to choose the right medication to preserve the pregnancy based on the cause, it will be very dangerous to the fetus.
