Unfortunately, approximately 20% of pregnancies end in a miscarriage. Often a woman herself does not suspect her position, but takes bleeding and pulling pains for regular menstruation. The most dangerous period is the first trimester. That is why doctors advise women to register for pregnancy as early as possible , in this case there is a chance to predict the process that has begun and to prevent it.
The seventh week is considered critical, it is the most dangerous, at this time the most spontaneous abortion occurs. Why can symptoms of early miscarriage appear in the seventh week? During this period, the corpus luteum loses its functions and produces much less hormones. Instead, the placenta begins to develop and function. If this transition occurs smoothly, there will be no cause for concern. But if the woman’s body does not cope with the difference in the hormonal level and the placenta does not take on the necessary functions, then symptoms of miscarriage may appear in the early stages and, as a result, spontaneous abortion.
Symptoms of an early miscarriage :
1. The most dangerous is bleeding. The intensity in this case can be completely different. Interruption may be accompanied by profuse uterine bleeding and pain in the lower abdomen. But even a few drops are already considered a threat. Just like that, blood secretions do not occur! So, a process has begun in the body of a woman. Now only a drop of blood can stand out, after an hour, heavy bleeding begins. In the beginning, the blood has a brown tint, then changes to scarlet. If you call an ambulance on time and seek medical help, you can still save your pregnancy.
2. Pain in the abdomen, lower abdomen or lower back. It can be pulling in nature, and can be very intense and painful cramps. It appears and disappears, rolling in a new wave. These early miscarriage symptoms may be accompanied by uterine bleeding, nausea, and vomiting. But miscarriage is not always painful, so you should listen to your own body and consult a doctor at the slightest suspicion.
