Many women experience a test such as a missed pregnancy. Of course, this is a huge grief, which is very difficult to survive. Many failed mothers fall into the deepest depression, realizing the fact that their unborn child’s life was cut short, that he will not see the sunrises or sunsets and will not recognize all the joys of life. Pregnancy, during which a spontaneous death of the embryo has occurred, is recognized as dead. This usually happens in the most dangerous first trimester.
A woman often does not notice signs of a missed
pregnancy in the early stages . Awareness of an accomplished tragedy comes only after an ultrasound scan.
The main symptoms of a frozen pregnancy in the early stages
The death of the embryo at short periods is especially dangerous because the signs as such cannot always be recognized. There is not a single test that can show the developmental arrest of a child. Nevertheless, there are signs of a frozen pregnancy in the early stages , although they are not unambiguous.
- Abrupt cessation of nausea (toxicosis) should be a concern if there are several signs. The cessation of toxicosis alone does not mean anything.
- The breast ceases to swell, "deflates". Sufficiently serious reason for an early meeting with your doctor.
- An increase in overall body temperature and a decrease in basal temperature.
- Cramping pains.
- Spotting is the most serious symptom.
All these signs of a frozen pregnancy in the early stages appear only a week after the pregnancy fades. The diagnosis of “non-developing pregnancy” can only be made after an ultrasound scan, in which the doctor determines whether the size of the embryo matches the gestational age and listens for a heartbeat. It is the absence of a heartbeat that is the point of no return.
Causes of fetal death of the embryo
Speaking about the reasons that cause the fetus to freeze, doctors distinguish the following main groups:
- Such harmful addictions of the mother, such as: alcoholism, smoking, drug addiction.
- The use of a number of drugs in the first trimester.
- Infectious diseases. Rubella is a particularly dangerous disease for a pregnant woman.
- Violation of the hormonal system of the mother.
- Regular physical activity, namely weight lifting.
- Genetic abnormalities.
- Chromosomal abnormalities.
If such a misfortune has occurred in your family, you need to contact a competent specialist to identify and eliminate the causes of fetal death.
Treatment for identifying a missed pregnancy
Treatment of such abnormalities occurs in the hospital of the gynecological department. The incoming woman was urgently scraped for the inner uterine cavity. This manipulation occurs under general anesthesia. Menstruation after a frozen pregnancy comes in accordance with the cycle of a woman.
Can I get pregnant after a dead pregnancy?
Every woman who has gone through such a test asks herself about it. The answer is quite simple. You can get pregnant more than once. The most important thing you should do is give the body time to fully recover, and also find out and eliminate the cause of such a terrible pathology.
