The first three months of pregnancy, also known as the early stages of pregnancy, are generally considered a high-risk period for women because at this time, the fetus has not yet fully settled in the womb, and there is a risk of "relocation" if not careful. So what are the symptoms of miscarriage in early pregnancy for women? How should everyone pay attention in their daily lives?
Main symptoms of miscarriage in early pregnancy
1. Vaginal bleeding: For those who experience miscarriage within 3 months of pregnancy, the villi and decidua are separated at the beginning, and the blood sinuses open, indicating the onset of bleeding. When the embryo is completely detached and expelled, the uterus contracts strongly, the blood sinuses close, and bleeding stops. Therefore, the entire process of early miscarriage is accompanied by vaginal bleeding. In late miscarriage, the placenta has already formed, and miscarriage is similar to premature and full-term birth, with generally little bleeding.
2. Abdominal pain: After early miscarriage begins to bleed, there is blood, especially blood clots, in the uterine cavity, which stimulates uterine contractions and presents persistent lower abdominal pain. Late miscarriage first has paroxysmal uterine contractions, followed by placental abruption, so abdominal pain occurs before vaginal bleeding. Abdominal pain and bleeding are mostly progressive and related to their clinical course and progression.
What to do about miscarriage in early pregnancy
In clinical practice, the principle of treating threatened miscarriage is to preserve the fetus, and about 60% of cases are effectively treated with appropriate care. First, the embryo survivors should undergo B-ultrasound examination and rest in bed absolutely. After the symptoms disappear, they should move around appropriately. Try to avoid any stimulation that can cause uterine contractions, such as vaginal examinations, sexual activity, etc.
Regardless of who experiences symptoms of miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy, they cannot accept it psychologically and may worry or be afraid. Therefore, at this time, in addition to providing appropriate medical treatment, it is more important to alleviate the psychological pressure of pregnant women and not create unnecessary burdens. In the early stages of pregnancy, besides human influence, the fetus itself also has a choice of survival of the fittest, so pregnant mothers should not feel regretful or uncomfortable.
