What are the symptoms of miscarriage during pregnancy?

Fetal arrest is fetal growth retardation, which means that the fetus stops developing due to various factors when it reaches a certain stage of development. Miscarriage can be said to be one of the more serious situations in pregnancy, and it is also the most undesirable thing to see. Therefore, we need to have a full understanding of some of the symptoms that the mother exhibits after miscarriage occurs. So, what are the symptoms of miscarriage? Let’s take a look below.

Fetal growth retardation refers to the cessation of embryo development, that is, the development stops before the fetus is formed. It is different from miscarriage in the second and third trimesters. If embryonic arrest occurs, all pregnancy reactions of the expectant mother will gradually disappear.

1. There will be no more early pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting, and the feeling of breast swelling will also be reduced.

2. There will be vaginal bleeding, often dark red bloody leucorrhea.

3. Lower abdominal pain and expulsion of the embryo may also occur.

The above symptoms vary from person to person. Some people may not even show any signs, but may directly experience abdominal pain and then miscarriage, or the embryo may stop developing without any symptoms and be discovered through routine B-ultrasound examination.

Therefore, when you are 6-8 weeks pregnant, once you feel that the pregnancy reactions are gradually reducing, such as no more nausea, vomiting and other early pregnancy reactions disappear, and the feeling of breast swelling is weakened, you should be vigilant. These phenomena can be regarded as early symptoms of fetal growth retardation. Some patients have vaginal bleeding with dark red bloody leucorrhea, and some patients have lower abdominal pain. You should go to the hospital for examination immediately.

Treatment of embryonic arrest

In medicine, the abnormal embryonic development that occurs in early pregnancy is called "embryo arrest."

When a pregnant mother is unfortunately diagnosed with fetal growth retardation, she should not panic. Usually, she needs to have an abortion under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to abortion surgery, the treatments for embryo arrest generally include the following.

1. Preserve the fetus

Embryonic arrest is mostly related to the pregnant woman's own condition, such as liver and kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency and blood deficiency, liver depression and qi stagnation, damp-heat inflammation, etc. in traditional Chinese medicine. It is recommended to seek treatment from a Chinese medicine practitioner and use Chinese medicine for conditioning. This is also the method of Chinese medicine used by many expectant mothers to preserve the fetus. However, not all cases of embryonic arrest can be treated with methods of preserving pregnancy. Gynecologists recommend not preserving the fetus unless a healthy embryo is seen, believing that this is natural selection and is a good thing. Whether to preserve the fetus depends on the individual situation of the expectant mother. If it is the first pregnancy, the best way to preserve the fetus is to rest in bed. For habitual miscarriage caused by maternal factors, bed rest alone is not enough, and a method to preserve the fetus should be chosen. And it should be protected from the beginning, before threatened miscarriage occurs.

2. The importance of bed rest

Bed rest is absolutely important and necessary in preserving the fetus. It is best to lie flat except for eating and going to the toilet. At the same time, you should not reach for anything, no matter how high, low or far away, and you should not pick up heavy objects.

3. Go to hospital for treatment if necessary

If the expectant mother continues to bleed (including brown discharge) or has not started to protect the fetus, she should go to the hospital immediately. If you have already started to preserve the fetus, but the situation is unstable, as long as there is no continuous bright red bleeding greater than the menstrual amount and no regular uterine contractions, you just need to relax your mind, lie still and listen to music. The more rest you get, the more helpful it will be to preserve the fetus. After three months, the placenta becomes strong and the baby is healthy.

4. If the fetus is stillborn, abortion treatment should be considered to terminate the pregnancy.
