How to protect the fetus when pregnant women have threatened miscarriage

For pregnant women, threatened miscarriage is an extremely bad phenomenon. After all, threatened miscarriage not only affects the life safety of the child, but also affects the physical health of the pregnant woman. However, when symptoms of threatened miscarriage appear, certain methods can be used to preserve the fetus. At the same time, many things should be paid attention to in the process of preserving the fetus. Below, we will introduce in detail the methods, precautions and dietary considerations for preserving the fetus during threatened miscarriage.

1. How to preserve the fetus during threatened miscarriage?

For women with threatened miscarriage, they need to stay in bed and rest, refrain from sexual intercourse, lead a regular life, pay attention to personal hygiene, and take pregnancy-preserving drugs if necessary. Your daily life should be peaceful, such as breathing more fresh air in the morning, doing appropriate activities, ensuring 8 hours of sleep a day, and taking a nap if conditions permit. Don't be too sleepy, and don't overwork yourself. In terms of diet, you should choose food that is easy to digest. People with weak gastrointestinal tract should be cautious about eating cold foods, such as mung beans, white fungus, lotus seeds, etc. People with yin deficiency and excess fire should be careful about consuming foods that can easily cause internal heat, such as rooster, beef, dog meat, and carp. At the same time, it is important to keep a good mood, because the functional state of the nervous system plays a decisive role in miscarriage. Therefore, during pregnancy, you should be mentally happy and avoid all kinds of stimulation. More importantly, pregnant mothers must have regular prenatal check-ups. Regular prenatal checkups should begin in the second trimester so that doctors can detect and address abnormalities in a timely manner and provide guidance for pregnancy care.

However, it should be noted that in some cases, such as abnormal embryo development caused by genetic defects, defects in the embryo itself or placental abnormalities leading to fetal death, viral infection, maternal systemic diseases, excessive coffee drinking, smoking and alcoholism, etc., which lead to threatened abortion, it is not advisable to blindly preserve the fetus. Blindly preserving the fetus may not only have adverse effects on the fetus, but may also be harmful to the mother herself.

2. What should you pay attention to when trying to preserve the fetus during threatened miscarriage?

First of all, 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. It is very important to pay attention to personal hygiene. Change clothes more often and take a bath frequently, but avoid taking a tub bath or swimming. Pay special attention to the cleanliness of the genitals to prevent bacterial infection. In addition, breast stimulation should be avoided, as it can also cause uterine contractions and lead to threatened miscarriage. Secondly, when something abnormal happens in the body. For example, if you have vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy, you should always observe whether there is any tissue in the vaginal discharge. It is best to save the discharge and take it to the hospital for examination by a doctor. If the amount of bleeding increases, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately. Also, when trying to preserve the fetus during threatened miscarriage, you should pay attention to abdominal pain. If expectant mothers experience back pain and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen that does not ease after rest or even gets worse, they should be alert. If the lower abdominal pain worsens, accompanied by vaginal bleeding and tissue-like discharge, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

3. What should I eat if I have threatened miscarriage?

If female friends have threatened miscarriage, they should eat light food, which is easy to digest and nutritious. Pregnant women should eat more foods containing vitamin E, such as soy products, walnuts, etc. Because vitamin E can play a role in preserving pregnancy, it is important to supplement it with enough vitamin E. You can eat fresh vegetables, beans, eggs, fruits and other foods that contain vitamins and trace elements, such as some soy products, lean meat, eggs, pig heart, pig liver, pig kidney soup, etc. In daily life, you should drink more water and eat more fruits. If necessary, you can take two spoons of honey and a glass of cold boiled water on an empty stomach every morning. This can help clear the stomach. You can also eat more foods rich in crude fiber, such as celery, spinach, pig blood, red beans, buckwheat noodles, taro, sweet potatoes, etc. It should be noted that regardless of whether you are deficient or excessive, you should avoid foods such as coix seed, cinnamon, dried ginger, peach kernels, crab, rabbit meat, hawthorn, okra seeds, and water chestnuts.

In addition, female patients with a history of habitual miscarriage such as weakness in the waist and legs, lower abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding can eat porridge cooked with 50 grams of lotus seeds and longan each, and 100 grams of yam. Female friends should start eating it after they become pregnant, and it is enough to eat it 1 to 2 times a day.
