Unfortunately, not every pregnancy proceeds as we would like and ends with a positive result. Sometimes the outcome is very sad, which requires mandatory medical intervention in order to prevent infection of a woman's blood . If we talk about the signs of a frozen pregnancy, then you can diagnose it yourself by yourself. The most important symptom that a woman should alert is the appearance of spotting. In any case, such discharge should force the pregnant woman to see a doctor, since this already speaks of the pathology of the fetal development, the threat of miscarriage and other not very pleasant phenomena that should be immediately eliminated. In addition, signs of a frozen pregnancy may include an increase in temperature and the appearance of pulling and cutting pains in the lower abdomen. Something these pains will resemble the unpleasant sensations that arise in many women during menstruation.
It is generally accepted that a
frozen pregnancy can happen only at an early stage, but this opinion is considered erroneous. Often, this pathology occurs at a later date. And if we talk about the signs of a frozen pregnancy in the
second trimester, then for them it is considered to be the absence of
fetal movements. In principle, such a deviation is possible if the expectant mother has already felt certain jerks and movements. Regardless of the period at which these symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor without fail.
Unfortunately, a frozen pregnancy does not have a return outcome, its result will be either spontaneous expulsion of the ovum from the uterus, or medication or surgery. In any case, a procedure such as curettage is mandatory to exclude the possibility of infection of a woman's blood.
Signs of a missed pregnancy, especially when it comes to bearing the fetus early, may not occur at all. Sometimes it is possible to identify the resulting pathology of development exclusively on a planned ultrasound. However, it is advisable for a future mother to listen to herself, because even a suddenly stopped toxicosis that accompanied her from the first weeks can talk about a dead pregnancy. This also includes a decrease in the painful sensations of the mammary glands, as well as a decrease in basal temperature. Spotting is a sign of a frozen pregnancy, regardless of the term and is an indispensable reason for going to the doctor.
If we talk about the reasons for stopping the development of the fetus in the womb, then it’s rather difficult to come to one universal solution to this problem. Most often, for example, the causes of a missed
pregnancy in the early stages are the use of various medications, hormonal disorders (more often, a lack of progesterone), various infectious processes that could begin before or during pregnancy and were not completely cured. Also, the
reason for stopping the formation of the fetus may be the presence of bad habits and dangerous production factors at work for the future mother.
