Symptoms and signs of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy: what you need to know about miscarriage

Often, a woman has a miscarriage at a very early date, when she may not even be aware of her new position. In this case, it is taken for the next, more abundant and slightly out of time menstruation, and no more manifestations are detected. However, if the termination of pregnancy is already long enough, its manifestations will be more pronounced and pronounced, and sometimes a woman can have serious complications without medical assistance. How to suspect a miscarriage and is it possible to save the fetus in this case, what manifestations are the most dangerous and serious in terms of prognosis?

Early miscarriage: difficult emotions

It is good if pregnancy is unexpected for a woman, and her termination occurs in the first weeks after conception. In this case, the woman simply expects the next menstruation, which may be slightly delayed. During a miscarriage, such discharge is usually more abundant, may be with blood clots and unpleasant, even painful sensations. This situation usually ends successfully, although some complications may occur (the so-called daub, hormonal failure, inflammation).

If the pregnancy is very desirable, and it leads to a miscarriage, this is not only a great physical, but also moral suffering for a woman. There may be heavy thoughts about one’s own inferiority, depression and even suicidal thoughts, which are a heavy burden for the whole family. Many of the women know that pregnancy can be interrupted, but not everyone knows the reasons why this happens, and they tend to blame themselves and their actions for everything. This is wrong, and it is important to pull yourself together by contacting a doctor and finding out the reasons for what happened.

With miscarriages in the early stages, it is important for future parents to think. A woman’s body, if a pregnancy is terminated before 10-12 weeks, signals that either the woman’s body is not yet physically ready to normally endure and give birth to a baby, or this is an indication of health problems for both women and men. Most likely, the miscarriage occurred due to serious anomalies in his development, which would not have allowed him to live normally. And if you do not take care of the health of both partners now, in the future history may repeat itself, which will cause even greater psychological and physical trauma. In addition, no one is immune from spontaneous genetic mutations leading to abnormal development of the embryo and, as a result, miscarriage.

The main symptoms of an early miscarriage

Many women know the main symptoms of a miscarriage — this is the presence of bleeding against the background of fairly severe pain in the lower abdomen. In addition, pain can be localized in the lumbar region in the form of aches, sensations of pressure. It all starts with uncomfortable sensations in the pelvic area, of a periodic nature, similar to menstrual pain. Usually they are preceded by spotting or bloody discharge of a mild nature, having a pink, red or brownish color. This can occur even at the stage when there is only a threat of termination of pregnancy, and with the correct and complete actions of the doctor and the patient, the baby can be saved. Often this requires hospitalization for preservation.

Doctors say that if the symptoms of a miscarriage develop gradually, and there is only mild discharge or discomfort in the pelvic area, the chances of a successful outcome are quite high. If, however, such symptoms of a miscarriage as profuse bleeding are observed, often with clots and pieces of torn tissues, pain and spasms of a cramping nature, this indicates the expulsion of the fetal egg from the uterus.

Often, the first symptoms of a miscarriage may be an increase in uterine tone, however, it should be felt by the pregnant woman herself in the form of pulling, pressing pains in the lower back and small pelvis. If the tone is detected only during examination or according to ultrasound data, this does not indicate a miscarriage, although you will need to take care of yourself in any case.

Termination of pregnancy: what to do?

First of all, it is important to know the first signs of an abortion and monitor your condition very sensitively. Manifestations of incipient spontaneous abortion are identical for any period of pregnancy, only the degree of bleeding and the severity of pain may be different. You need to be especially careful about your condition during the critical periods of pregnancy — these are the days when menstruation usually took place, and also (if miscarriages have already happened before) the timing of their onset. At this time, it is possible that the doctor will strengthen the monitoring of the expectant mother or even recommend being on sick leave at home in order to avoid physical exertion and emotional distress.

In some cases, abortion can manifest itself only as mild pain or a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, as well as quite heavy bleeding. A woman can take it for menstruation, and not see a doctor, especially if everything stops after a few days. It is important that if there is a suspicion of a possible pregnancy or bleeding occurs outside of the days of menstruation, consult a doctor. This will help to avoid large blood loss and the formation of negative complications (inflammatory or hormonal).

It is equally important to consult a doctor if menstruation, against the background of a delay of different durations, passes with severe pain, and on one of the days a clot or a bubble with blood is formed. For menstruation, this is uncharacteristic, but for abortion it is quite. Thus, the separation of the embryo with its fetal membranes occurs. Such a phenomenon is not only frightening, but also dangerous, particles of the membranes can linger in the uterine cavity, which can lead to bleeding or inflammation. These conditions can pose a threat to the health and even life of a woman. Under such circumstances, only a doctor can decide whether additional curettage of the uterus is necessary after a spontaneous miscarriage.

In addition, the doctor will conduct a full examination of the woman, provide her with psychological support and decide on rehabilitation measures after the incident. This is important in order to plan a new pregnancy in the future.
