Signs of miscarriage at various stages of pregnancy

However sad it may be, miscarriage occurs during pregnancy in 25% of cases. Sometimes the future mother is to blame for this, but often this is due to reasons that do not depend on the woman herself. Every pregnant woman should know what a miscarriage looks like. I must say that the signs of miscarriage, of course, differ from each other depending on the period of pregnancy, so they must be treated separately.

Signs in early pregnancy

Often, miscarriage in the early stages occurs when a woman does not even know about her pregnancy. The first signs in the early term( in the first trimester of pregnancy) is the blood that a woman who does not know that she is pregnant can easily take for a menstrual period.

Sometimes these may be brownish discharge: with or without admixture of red( blood).It is almost impossible to save a pregnancy in the early stages, because such early miscarriages occur only when the genetically future baby is not at all fit for life. However, if you had brownish discharge, pregnancy can still be saved if the doctor immediately intervenes - but this can be done literally in units of cases, even if the doctor was nearby.

Signs of miscarriage in the second trimester

Miscarriage in the second trimester of pregnancy( that is, from 12 weeks to 22 weeks) is also called late. Everything that happens in later terms is called premature birth.

To its attributes also include bleeding and discharge: from brown to scarlet. Sometimes it happens that the pregnant woman is in pain, but this does not always happen. The miscarriage that occurs is very easy to identify if small pieces of tissue can be seen in the discharge.

As a rule, fetal death occurs even in the body of a woman, and it comes out in parts. Sometimes it happens that it goes out entirely: then it is a bubble of a grayish hue. Sometimes in the bloody discharge from the vagina you can see white particles. As a rule, bleeding continues not one day, and even when it has already occurred, the bleeding will continue for a certain period.

To save a child, if you notice signs of miscarriage in the late term, you can still, and it makes sense. But you can save the child only if you notice the very beginning of the miscarriage and immediately turned to the doctor. There are four main stages, the first two of which can save the child. Consider how a miscarriage occurs at each of the stages:

Spontaneous abortion

It is characterized by pains in the lower abdomen and bloody secretions that leave only spots. Sometimes a woman can be in this condition almost throughout her entire pregnancy. These are the first signs of miscarriage that require immediate medical attention.

Spontaneous abortion started

At this stage, the pregnant woman feels pain that looks like a contraction, but they are not so strong. First there are selections, moderate or minor, but their amplification is possible at any time. At this stage, dizziness and weakness are possible.

In this stage, pregnancy can also be saved, therefore, as soon as the future mother senses it, she must immediately call a doctor. In such cases, you can make hospitalization if you need it: you should not refuse it if you want to keep a pregnancy. This condition is treatable, and often enough. If you are offered hormone therapy, then do not give it up, because it is they who will be good at this condition.

Hormonal failure is one of the most common causes of miscarriage in later periods, so that hormone therapy will have the desired effect. The hormones will not affect the baby badly, because this is exactly what it needs at the moment: your body, due to a failure at the endocrine level, simply can not give it.

Abortion in progress

Starting from this stage, it is already impossible to save the pregnancy, as a fetal egg dies on it. There is a sharp pain in the lower abdomen, aching pain in the lower back, bleeding becomes plentiful.

Completed abortion

How to understand what happened the miscarriage and that it is over? A fetal egg is expelled from the body in whole or in parts. A miscarriage is considered when the fetus completely left the body, and no part of it remained inside. This is checked by ultrasound.

Once you feel one of these symptoms, immediately take a horizontal position and call a doctor. Do not take any medication yourself. And do not cool the bottom of your stomach! The uterus begins to contract more strongly from the cold, so the cold promotes miscarriage.
