Do I need to take confinement after a miscarriage?

The probability of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy is relatively high, so pregnant women during this period must pay attention to all aspects of life in order to effectively prevent the occurrence of spontaneous abortion. After a miscarriage, the pregnant woman's mind and body will suffer a huge blow. At this time, the pregnant woman must pay attention to physical recovery. At the same time, many people are also confused about whether they need to take confinement after a miscarriage.

Under normal circumstances, whether it is a natural abortion, an artificial abortion, or a medical abortion, you need to rest for 2 weeks. In the case of natural miscarriage, the rest time should be determined according to the time of miscarriage, the time of pregnancy, and how long the pregnancy lasts. The longer the pregnancy, the larger the embryo will grow, and in this case, if miscarriage occurs, the longer the rest time will be needed after the miscarriage. If it is an early miscarriage, such as biochemical miscarriage, you only need to rest for about a week after the miscarriage. If the embryo has grown to 8-9 weeks, if a miscarriage occurs at this time, it is recommended to rest for about 2 weeks.

What should I pay attention to if I have a miscarriage?

First, life should be regular. Maintain a regular living schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and ensure you get 8 hours of sleep every day. Develop the habit of regular bowel movements every day to ensure smooth bowel movements, but avoid using laxatives.

Second, pay attention to personal hygiene. Change clothes frequently and take a bath frequently, but avoid taking tub baths or swimming. Pay special attention to genital hygiene to prevent bacterial infection. Clothes should be loose and belts should not be too tight. You should usually wear flat shoes.

Third, choose a suitable diet. Food should be easy to digest. In particular, you should choose foods rich in various vitamins and trace elements, such as various vegetables, fruits, beans, eggs, meat, etc.

Fourth, keep your mood happy. Try to keep your mind comfortable, avoid all kinds of stimulation, and use a variety of methods to eliminate tension, boredom, and fear in order to harmonize your emotions.

Fifth, be careful to abstain from sexual intercourse. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after abortion. After a miscarriage, the local resistance of the uterus is low. Having sexual intercourse too early can easily bring in bacteria and cause gynecological diseases such as endometritis.
