A miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion before 22 weeks.
Reliably determine whether a woman is at risk in connection with the threat of miscarriage is very difficult.
Signs of miscarriage are different for every pregnant woman, but British experts said there are few similar symptoms that speak of the need to quickly consult a doctor.
Bleeding. This is one of the first warning signal of miscarriage. Bleeding may vary from barely noticeable to very intense spots of hemorrhage resembling a traditional menstruation, but with more bright red blood. However, the bleeding in the first three months of pregnancy is relatively normal, but no harm will still consult with the doctor.
Pain in the lower abdomen. Another key symptom of a miscarriage is pain in the lower abdomen, which disappears, then resumes again. The severity of this pain increases gradually over time, and this could indicate serious problems requiring urgent appointment with your doctor.
Discharge from the vagina. Abnormal vaginal discharge during pregnancy can be a sign of hidden miscarriage. If you notice blood stains or gray in appearance of a substance with a smell or without, and all this is accompanied by itching in the vagina, these symptoms may indicate a miscarriage.
Contractions of the uterus. In some cases, severe uterine contractions in the first few months of pregnancy are a symptom of miscarriage. So if these contractions become increasingly strong over time, accompanied or not accompanied by bleeding, it’s time to visit the gynecologist.
