Miscarriage at 27 weeks of pregnancy

Most pregnant women will choose to protect their bodies in the early stages of pregnancy to reduce the chance of miscarriage, but once they enter the second trimester, they will relax their vigilance. In fact, there are many things that can lead to miscarriage in both the second and third trimesters, so everyone must pay more attention. Some pregnant women have miscarriages in the 27th week of pregnancy. So what are the symptoms before miscarriage at 27 weeks of pregnancy?

First, what are the symptoms before miscarriage at 27 weeks of pregnancy? After the end of the first trimester, pink vaginal discharge that lasts for several days or brown discharge that lasts for several weeks are signs of late miscarriage. Heavy bleeding, especially if accompanied by cramping in the lower abdomen, often indicates that miscarriage is inevitable, especially if the cervix is ​​already dilated. There are many other causes of severe bleeding, such as placenta previa, placental abruption, endometrial tear, premature birth, etc.

Second, if pink or brown blood is present, seek medical attention immediately. Your doctor will check to determine the extent of your bleeding, may do an ultrasound of your cervix, and may ask you to stay in bed. If the bleeding stops, doctors usually conclude that the bleeding is not related to the miscarriage (it is sometimes caused by sexual intercourse or internal examination), and usually allow the woman to resume normal activities. If the cervix begins to dilate, an incompetent cervix may be diagnosed and a cervical cerclage (stitching the cervix shut) may be performed to prevent miscarriage.

Once late miscarriage begins, it is inevitable. But if the causes of late miscarriage can be identified, tragedies can be prevented from happening again. If a miscarriage is caused by cervical relaxation that is not detected in advance, a cervical cerclage can be performed in the early stages of pregnancy before the cervix dilates to prevent miscarriage. If hormone deficiency caused the miscarriage, hormone supplementation may allow future pregnancies to continue until delivery. If the cause is a chronic disease, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, etc., the disease must be controlled before any future pregnancy, and acute infections must also be prevented and treated. Uterine malformations, or deformation of the uterus due to the growth of uterine fibroids or other benign tumors, can be corrected surgically. If antibodies that induce placental infection and thrombosis are present, low-dose aspirin or heparin injections may be needed in subsequent pregnancies.
