Release time : 01/18/2025 18:13:27
During the first three months of a woman's pregnancy, this period is considered a dangerous time for the fetus. A slight misstep could potentially harm the baby and even lead to preterm labor, also known as "showing blood".
Experts state that if a threatened miscarriage is not properly prevented and treated, it can potentially progress into habitual miscarriage. This not only causes significant physical and psychological harm to the woman but also affects the happiness of the family.
Therefore, prevention of threatened miscarriage should be given high priority to all pregnant women.
The main manifestation of threatened abortion, which is a condition to be prevented during pregnancy, is a small amount of vaginal bleeding after conception. Depending on the amount of bleeding and the duration it accumulates in the vagina, the color can range from bright red, pink, to dark brown.
Sometimes accompanied by slight lower abdominal pain, fetal movement has a feeling of being pushed down, and there is a sensation of bloating and abdominal distention.
From the perspective of folklore, the main basis for a threatened miscarriage is the appearance of blood.
Approximately half of the pre-term labor patients will develop abortion. Due to excessive bleeding, infection can occur, even leading to septicemia and death.
Therefore, if symptoms of threatened miscarriage occur, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.
Particularly in the first three months of pregnancy, if vaginal bleeding occurs, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly and not attempt home remedies.
Symptoms of threatened miscarriage, to prevent threatened miscarriage, it is necessary to understand the symptoms of threatened miscarriage.
There are mainly the following points: first, vaginal bleeding.
Vaginal bleeding can be categorized into minor and significant, persistent and intermittent.
Any vaginal bleeding during the first three months of pregnancy should be taken seriously, especially if it is accompanied by pain. This could be a sign of miscarriage.
The second issue is pain.
Persistent pain in the pelvis, abdomen or lower back.
When symptoms of vaginal bleeding occur, they can be followed by pain within a few hours or days.
Thirdly, there's a vaginal hematoma.
Vaginal discharge containing blood clots or light gray tissue.
If symptoms occur during pregnancy, seek immediate medical attention for preservation of the pregnancy.
Preventing miscarriage: To avoid miscarriage, both partners should plan their fertility timing and choose it under the guidance of a doctor.
After pregnancy, especially in the early stage, it is important to pay attention to 8 points: 1. Enough rest, do not overwork.
Do not engage in overly strenuous physical labor, especially lifting weights that increase abdominal pressure, such as carrying water or moving heavy objects.
2. Preventing external injuries.
It is advisable to wear flat shoes when going out; it is best not to travel during pregnancy; avoid vibration-prone work environments; and avoid dangerous movements when doing housework, such as climbing stairs.
3. Adhere to a balanced diet, stay away from smoking and alcohol, consume light foods, avoid spicy foods, eat smaller meals frequently, ensure smooth bowel movements, and prevent gastrointestinal discomfort.
4. Controlling sexual activity.
The compression from the abdominal area during sexual intercourse and the stimulation from the cervix can induce contractions. In early pregnancy, when the placenta is not firmly attached, these contractions can easily lead to miscarriage. Therefore, it is advised that sexual activity should be avoided in the early stages of pregnancy.
Although sexual activity is permissible in the mid-pregnancy period, its frequency and intensity should be less than before pregnancy. Fathers should exercise restraint.
5. Maintain a positive and stable mood.
6. Maintain cleanliness of the body, especially the perineal area.
Gynecological inflammation is also one of the causes of miscarriage.
During pregnancy, an increase in vaginal discharge necessitates that the vulvar cleansing is of great importance. It is advisable for pregnant women to cleanse the vulva nightly, and if necessary, twice daily.
Once vaginitis occurs, it should be treated immediately.
7. Without the permission of a doctor, do not take medicine on your own.
8. Every two weeks, you must visit the hospital for a prenatal check-up.
Precautions for Avoiding Preterm Labor: In daily life, paying attention to some details can effectively prevent preterm labor. There are several safety tips to consider: Firstly, women who have a history of anemia or pneumonia, or those with poor physical constitution, should actively seek treatment before pregnancy. Only after strengthening their health and recovering from these diseases can they contemplate having a child.
Secondly, after becoming pregnant, aside from paying attention to nutritional balance in the diet, it is also necessary consciously to consume more foods that nourish the kidneys and strengthen the spleen.
Thirdly, after becoming pregnant, one should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy foods as well as animal blood to maintain regular bowel movements.
Fourth, during pregnancy, it is appropriate to engage in some mild exercises to enhance physical fitness. For instance, there are now specialized yoga classes specifically designed for pregnant women. Of course, these should be learned at a certified fitness center to ensure safety.
At the same time, during pregnancy, pregnant women should maintain their mental and emotional well-being to facilitate fetal development.
