What are the signs of miscarriage?

Every family will have a child born, but the arrival of every child is not very easy. Some pregnant women are honored to be pregnant but cannot keep the child, which becomes a pain and sorrow for the family. This is because some women are weak or do not pay attention to the details of life, which leads to signs of miscarriage. However, this can be prevented in many cases. The reason why some people have miscarriage is simply because they do not pay attention to the details of their lives. Now I will explain to you in detail why miscarriage occurs and what to do.

Vaginal bleeding and increased abdominal pain, be careful of miscarriage: It develops from threatened abortion, at this time the amount of vaginal bleeding increases, paroxysmal lower abdominal pain worsens or vaginal discharge occurs (rupture of membranes). Gynecological examination shows that the cervix is ​​dilated, and sometimes embryonic tissue or fetal sac can be seen blocking the cervix. The size of the uterus is consistent with the number of weeks of amenorrhea or slightly smaller.

Be careful of incomplete abortion in early pregnancy:

The products of conception have been partially expelled from the body, but some remain in the uterine cavity, leading to inevitable miscarriage. Because some products of pregnancy remain in the uterine cavity, uterine contraction is affected, resulting in continuous uterine bleeding and even hemorrhagic shock due to excessive bleeding.

Threatened abortion:

A small amount of vaginal bleeding occurs first, often followed by paroxysmal lower abdominal pain or back pain. Gynecological examination shows that the cervix is ​​not dilated, the fetal membranes are not ruptured, the products of conception have not been expelled, the size of the uterus is consistent with the number of weeks of amenorrhea, and there is hope of continuing the pregnancy. After rest and treatment, if the bleeding stops and the lower abdominal pain disappears, the pregnancy can continue; if the vaginal bleeding increases or the lower abdominal pain worsens, miscarriage may become inevitable.

Causes of miscarriage in early pregnancy

1. Age. Babies conceived by older women are more likely to have chromosomal abnormalities, which can lead to miscarriage.

2. Genetic defects. If either spouse has chromosomal abnormalities, it can be passed on to the next generation, and 50% to 60% of embryos with chromosomal abnormalities will result in early spontaneous abortion.

3. Systemic diseases: Systemic infection and high fever during pregnancy can cause uterine contractions and lead to miscarriage.

4. Uterine and cervical problems. Uterine malformations (such as uterine hypoplasia, double uterus, uterine septum, etc.) and uterine tumors can affect embryo implantation and development and lead to miscarriage. Severe cervical lacerations and relaxation of the internal cervical os lead to premature rupture of membranes and late spontaneous abortion.

5. Have a history of birth defects or genetic diseases. Have given birth to a baby with a birth defect, or the pregnant woman (or her partner) has a family history of genetic diseases.

6. Certain infectious diseases. Studies have found that the risk of miscarriage increases if a pregnant woman has listeriosis, mumps, rubella, measles, cytomegalovirus infection, parvovirus infection, gonorrhea, HIV infection, or other infectious diseases.

7. Bad habits. Excessive smoking, alcoholism, excessive drinking of coffee, heroin and other drugs can all cause miscarriage.

8. Immune dysfunction: Pregnancy is similar to allogeneic transplantation. There is a complex and special immunological relationship between the embryo and the mother, which prevents the embryo from being rejected. If the immune system of both mother and child is not compatible, the mother may reject the embryo and cause miscarriage.

9. Exposure to toxic environments. Exposure to certain chemicals such as lead, arsenic, formaldehyde, benzene, ethylene oxide, as well as large amounts of radiation or inhaled anesthetics can increase the risk of miscarriage.

10. Traumatic stimulation: severe shock and uterine trauma (such as surgery, direct impact, excessive sexual intercourse) can also lead to miscarriage; there are also reports of mental trauma such as excessive tension, anxiety, fear, sadness, etc. causing miscarriage.

Miscarriage is not only the loss of the child, but also causes physical harm to the expectant mother, so everyone must pay attention. If you are pregnant, you must be responsible for the baby and don't let this little life leave your world easily. Here, I wish all expectant mothers can hear the cry of the baby's blessing in the prescribed period~
