How to protect the fetus quickly in case of threatened abortion

Many pregnant women are aware of threatened miscarriage, but they don’t know how to preserve the fetus as quickly as possible. In the case of threatened abortion, pregnant women must pay attention to their rest and reduce activities. They also need to pay attention to the amount and nature of bleeding, and whether there is foreign matter discharged from their vagina. They should also pay more attention to abdominal pain. The general period of preserving the pregnancy is two weeks.

How to protect the fetus quickly in case of threatened abortion

1. To protect the fetus during threatened miscarriage, you need to pay attention to rest. Pregnant women should rest in bed more and reduce activities, but this does not mean they should lie in bed motionless for 24 hours. They should do some light activities appropriately. Sexual intercourse must be prohibited and unnecessary vaginal examinations should be minimized to reduce stimulation to the uterus. In addition, breast stimulation should be avoided, as it can also cause uterine contractions and lead to threatened miscarriage.

2. To preserve the fetus in case of threatened miscarriage, it is necessary to pay attention to the amount and nature of bleeding, and observe whether there is any tissue discharged in the vaginal discharge at any time. It is best to keep the discharge for your doctor's observation. If the amount of bleeding increases, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

3. In case of threatened abortion, you need to pay attention to abdominal pain. If you experience back pain and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen that does not ease after rest or even gets worse, you should be alert. If the lower abdominal pain worsens, is accompanied by vaginal bleeding, and has tissue-like discharge, you should report it to your doctor immediately.

4. The period for preserving the pregnancy is generally 2 weeks. If the symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks, it indicates that the embryo may have developmental abnormalities. B-ultrasound examination and β-HCG measurement are required to determine the condition of the embryo and give appropriate treatment. The pregnancy should be terminated if necessary.

According to the above introduction, the chance of preserving pregnancy during threatened miscarriage is affected by different factors, so it is impossible to say exactly what the chance of preserving pregnancy is. However, if pregnant women show symptoms of threatened abortion, they should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, and pay more attention to matters related to fetal preservation in daily life, which will definitely increase the chances of successful fetal preservation to a certain extent.
