What are the symptoms of miscarriage in pregnant women?

The biggest worry for many pregnant women is that the fetus is very unstable in the first three months of pregnancy. How can they control the fetus and avoid miscarriage? Many pregnant women are first-time mothers and are prone to anxiety and worry in the early stages of pregnancy, which can lead to miscarriage and great pain. In fact, miscarriage also has symptoms. Let's follow the experts to discuss the symptoms of miscarriage and how pregnant women can prevent miscarriage.

"Bleeding during pregnancy" refers to vaginal bleeding, which is one of the symptoms of miscarriage, but it is not the only symptom. There are three key symptoms of miscarriage:

1. Vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can be divided into spotting and heavy bleeding, continuous bleeding and irregular bleeding. Although bleeding is often considered the first sign of miscarriage, vaginal bleeding during the first three months of pregnancy is very normal. However, if vaginal bleeding is accompanied by pain, this is something to be aware of, as it could be a sign of miscarriage.

2. Pain. You may have persistent pain in your pelvis, abdomen, or lower back. When vaginal bleeding occurs, you may begin to feel pain a few hours or days later.

3. Blood clots or light gray tissue are discharged from the vagina. It is not easy to distinguish whether it is a miscarriage, because miscarriage is not a single event, but a link in a chain reaction. And from the actual situation, each woman's miscarriage conditions and miscarriage symptoms are different.

Miscarriage has its warning signs and is a manifestation of unhealthy fetus. Pregnant women need to know whether the fetus in their belly is healthy. Starting from the 28th week of pregnancy, fetal heart rate monitoring should be carried out on the fetus. Fetal heart rate monitoring is a way to assess the intrauterine condition of the fetus. Its purpose is to deal with fetal intrauterine hypoxia in time so that further measures can be taken in time. Proper interpretation of fetal heart rate monitoring graphs is very important for reducing the occurrence of neonatal convulsions and cerebral palsy, reducing perinatal mortality, predicting neonatal metabolic acidosis, and reducing unnecessary obstetric intervention measures such as vaginal delivery and cesarean section. Correctly treating and attaching great importance to fetal heart rate monitoring can sometimes save a precious life and avoid unbearable pain.

How can pregnant women prevent miscarriage?

1. Threatened abortion

Pregnant women often seek medical treatment for symptoms such as "small amount of vaginal bleeding, back pain, paroxysmal lower abdominal pain and a feeling of falling after pregnancy."

Countermeasures: Pay attention to rest, but there is no need to stay in bed. If there is fresh bleeding, bed rest is recommended. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited to prevent unnecessary gynecological examinations. Pay attention to vaginal bleeding and characteristics, and observe whether there is tissue in the discharge at any time.

2. Miscarriage is inevitable

If, on the basis of threatened miscarriage, the pregnant mother's vaginal bleeding increases further, the abdominal pain becomes more severe, or vaginal discharge occurs, then miscarriage may occur inevitably.

Countermeasures: Once it is diagnosed as inevitable miscarriage, forced pregnancy preservation is not suitable. The test tube embryo and embryonic tissue should be completely expelled as soon as possible to reduce the occurrence of serious complications such as internal bleeding.

3. Incomplete abortion

Among patients who seek medical treatment for heavy bleeding, incomplete abortion is the most common. At this time, part of the pregnancy products have been discharged from the body, and some remain in the uterine cavity or are stuck at the cervical exit, affecting the contraction of the uterus, causing continuous or heavy bleeding and even hemorrhagic shock. This is a more emergency type of abortion.

Countermeasures: - Upon diagnosis, immediate surgical treatment is required to clear the uterine cavity. Those who are in shock due to excessive blood loss should first correct the shock, clear the uterine cavity, and give uterine contraction drugs to promote blood circulation. Antibiotics should be given after the operation to prevent infection.

4. Complete miscarriage

Some pregnant women seek medical treatment for "amenorrhea, vaginal bleeding and discharge of tissue". When they seek medical treatment, the bleeding has decreased or even stopped, and the abdominal pain has gradually subsided.

Countermeasures: Generally, no special treatment is required, but changes in vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, etc. must be observed. If the bleeding lasts for a long time, the possibility of residual stool in the uterine cavity should be eliminated.

5. Missed abortion

It refers to the fact that the test tube embryo or fetus has died and remains in the uterine cavity and has not been naturally expelled. Pregnant women often experience the disappearance of early pregnancy reactions, no visible abdominal enlargement in mid-pregnancy, and disappearance of fetal movements.

Countermeasures: If the retention time is too long, it will affect the patient's coagulation function and cause severe bleeding. In addition, the test tube embryo tissue may sometimes become sclerotic and closely adhere to the endometrium, making surgical treatment more difficult. Before surgery, the patient's blood coagulation should be fully checked and intravenous preparations should be made.

6. Habitual miscarriage

Continuous spontaneous abortion three or more times is called tertiary miscarriage, and continuous spontaneous abortion twice is called habitual miscarriage.

Countermeasures: Both parties should undergo a detailed physical examination and examination of urinary and reproductive organs, chromosomes, blood test, immunity and nutritional elements before pregnancy to find out the cause of habitual miscarriage and treat the cause.
