Types and signs of miscarriage in the first months


Miscarriage is the loss of pregnancy in its early stages, usually during the first three months. Threatened miscarriage is a type of miscarriage that occurs for unknown reasons, and is more common among women who have had a miscarriage in the past. In this article, through the Dalili Medical website, we will discuss the most prominent signs of threatened miscarriage and ways to avoid it.

**What is miscarriage and what are its types?**

 

Miscarriage, in language, means stopping growth before completion. Miscarriage is defined as the termination of pregnancy by the exit of the fetus from the uterus before its growth is complete and becomes capable of life. Most miscarriages occur in the first months of pregnancy.

**What is the color of miscarriage blood?**

 

The color of miscarriage blood varies depending on the circumstances, as it may be brown or pinkish-red. The bleeding may stop for a temporary period, or the bleeding may be heavy or light. It is important to note that bleeding resulting from miscarriage is often accompanied by severe bleeding before the eighth week of pregnancy, which requires medical care.

**When is abortion allowed?**

 

Abortion can be allowed in very special cases after the medical emergency board's evaluation. These cases include when the mother's life is at risk or if she has diseases such as heart disease, breast cancer, or blood clotting disorders. Abortion is legally allowed in these cases until the 18th week of pregnancy.

**Does jumping cause miscarriage?**

 

Yes, jumping can lead to miscarriage. During pregnancy, a woman's center of gravity changes, which increases the risk of losing her balance. Therefore, jumping can lead to falling, and in certain cases, miscarriage. In addition, these activities can cause other complications such as premature birth and vaginal bleeding.

**What is the most dangerous month for miscarriage?**

 

The first three months of pregnancy are considered the most vulnerable to miscarriage, as the incidence rate is higher compared to the following months. Therefore, a pregnant woman should take good care of her health, take the necessary supplements, and adhere to the required dietary instructions during this period.

**Does a miscarriage occur before knowing the pregnancy?**

 

A chemical pregnancy can occur at any time, as the pregnancy is lost quickly during the fifth or sixth week with the onset of the menstrual cycle. This type of pregnancy is often asymptomatic, and sometimes a home pregnancy test may show pregnancy, and then your period starts shortly after, indicating an early miscarriage.

**What causes cravings to continue after a miscarriage?*

 

The pregnancy hormone (hCG) does not drop to zero immediately after a miscarriage, but it takes about two months to disappear from the blood, which leads to the continuation of pregnancy symptoms even after the miscarriage.

**Does preeclampsia cause miscarriage?**

 

Preeclampsia can pose risks to the life of the mother and child if left untreated, and may lead to miscarriage. It is the loss of a pregnancy in its early stages, often occurring during the first three months. Threatened miscarriage is a type of miscarriage that occurs for unknown reasons, and is more common among women who have had a miscarriage before.

**What is miscarriage and what are its types?**

 

A miscarriage, in its linguistic meaning, means stopping growth before it is complete. Miscarriage is defined as the termination of pregnancy by the exit of the fetus from the uterus before it is fully developed and capable of life. Most miscarriages occur in the first months of pregnancy

**Causes of miscarriage**
Preeclampsia can pose risks to the life of the mother and the child if left untreated, and may lead to miscarriage.

**Silent miscarriage**Sometimes, the fetus dies inside the mother's uterus without causing contractions, which leads to it remaining inside the uterus without any signs indicating this. In this case, the likelihood of infections in the mother's body increases, which may require the doctor's intervention to remove the fetus through curettage of the uterus. This type of miscarriage is also known as a forgotten miscarriage, because it is not accompanied by any clear symptoms or signs. Signs of a silent miscarriage may include noticing brown discharge or the absence of pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, but a silent miscarriage can occur without any symptoms.

**Septic or infectious abortion** Septic or infectious abortion is considered one of the most dangerous types of abortion, as it usually occurs after an abortion in unqualified centers or by unskilled people. This type of abortion may appear after an incomplete or forgotten abortion. Septic abortion is accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, high temperature, vaginal bleeding, increased white blood cell count, and increased heart rate in the mother. In this case, it is necessary to see a specialist doctor quickly to conduct the necessary tests, which include taking blood and cervical samples and culturing them, giving antibiotics intravenously, performing X-rays in the lying and standing positions, and then emptying and cleaning the uterus.

**Intrauterine fetal death** In this case, the fetus stops growing before the mother realizes her pregnancy, and before any symptoms appear. This condition is considered a type of early abortion.

**Intentional abortion** Intentional abortion is when a pregnant woman abort her fetus of her own free will, whether by taking medications or undergoing surgery. This type is divided into two groups:

**Therapeutic abortion**: It is recommended by the doctor in cases that threaten the mother's life, or for other reasons such as severe mental retardation of the fetus, or in cases of pregnancy resulting from sexual assault or illicit relationships.

- **Oral and dental problems**: Many pregnant women suffer from dental and gum problems as a result of eating sugars or acidification of saliva due to nausea and hormonal changes, which increases the formation of microbial plaques. If these problems worsen and the mother is forced to treat them in the first three months, the risks ofMiscarriage is the loss of pregnancy in its early stages, usually during the first three months.

If these problems worsen and the mother is forced to treat them in the first three months, the risks of  Miscarriage. Therefore, it is preferable to perform dental treatments in the second trimester of pregnancy or after.

- **Smoking**: Some bad habits such as smoking or drug abuse lead to congenital disorders in the central nervous system, spinal cord, kidneys, and fetal heart, which increases the likelihood of miscarriage.

- **Self-medication**: Some medications such as anticancer and anticonvulsant drugs, and sometimes vitamin A compounds, can cause fetal malformations and may lead to miscarriage. Therefore, no medication should be taken without consulting a doctor.

- **Women's age**: The miscarriage rate is 12% at the age of 24-25, and reaches 50% at older ages. Marriage in the twenties without using contraceptives for a long time may reduce the risk of miscarriage.

- **Infections**: Some infections may cause fetal malformations and miscarriage if not treated in a timely manner during the first three months.

- **Uterine structural abnormalities**: Various abnormalities in the shape of the uterus, such as a unicornuate or bicornuate uterus, in addition to uterine adhesions and fibroids, increase the risk of miscarriage.

- **High blood pressure and diabetes**: High blood pressure leads to a lack of blood supply to the fetus, which reduces its growth rate, and may lead to the birth of a child with a low weight, premature birth, or the death of the child at birth. If diabetes is not controlled before pregnancy, the possibility of miscarriage increases. Therefore, women who suffer from diabetes and blood pressure problems should take the necessary medications under the supervision of a doctor.

**Preeclampsia** Preeclampsia is defined as high blood pressure with protein in the urine. This disease poses a risk for premature birth and may lead to the death of the fetus and the mother if it worsens. This disease continues until the fetus and placenta are expelled from the mother's body. Protein secretion often occurs in the last months of pregnancy, but if it occurs in the first three months, it increases the risks and leads to cramps in the mother.

**High-risk pregnancy** There are several factors that make pregnancy high-risk, including a woman being over 30 years old, being overweight, having diabetes, having a family history of diabetes, and having a baby weighing more than 4 kilograms.

**Abnormal weight** Both being underweight and overweight can lead to a high-risk pregnancy. A pregnant woman may lose weight due to increased nausea or malnutrition, which increases the risk of premature birth or miscarriage.

**Anemia** Anemia in the mother before and during pregnancy increases the chances of miscarriage and premature birth.

**Cervical weakness** A weak cervical muscle is one of the factors that increases the likelihood of the uterus opening early, which may lead to miscarriage.

**Thyroid problems** Some untreated chronic diseases, such as thyroid problems, can lead to miscarriage in many women.

**Placental problems** Any disorder in the placenta, such as its abnormal growth, can prevent blood from reaching the fetus from the mother, leading to fetal death.

**Symptoms of Miscarriage**

The symptoms of miscarriage are relatively clear, even if the mother is not aware of it, as she can recognize the matter through the signs of miscarriage. Symptoms vary according to the stage of pregnancy and the rate of fetal growth, and include the following:

- Noticing blood spotting in the first three months of pregnancy, as blood spotting is considered one of the most prominent signs that may indicate the possibility of miscarriage, although more than 50% of cases of blood spotting during pregnancy do not end in miscarriage.

- Bleeding that may be simple or heavy, and often appears in the form of large spots and blood clots, with increasing severity over time.

- Uterine contraction pain.

- Feeling tired and exhausted.

- High body temperature accompanied by the aforementioned symptoms of miscarriage.

- Complete expulsion of the placenta, fetus, or some tissues.

- End of pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and breast swelling resulting from hormonal changes.

- Abdominal muscle cramps with a feeling of pain similar to menstrual pain.

- Back pain, whether simple or severe.

Miscarriage can sometimes occur without any symptoms or signs, and it may continue for a few weeks before the signs begin and the fetus falls, and this condition is considered a type of silent miscarriage.

**How ​​can the causes of recurrent miscarriage be determined?**

 

To determine the underlying causes of recurrent miscarriage, the specialist doctor begins by asking a set of precise questions about any previous surgeries the patient has had, in addition to inquiries about genetic problems in the family and other related questions. After that, he performs a medical examination of the uterus to detect any possible abnormalities. Finally, the doctor performs a set of tests and examinations to determine the exact cause of the miscarriage, including:

1. **Cytonuclear analysis:** This analysis aims to determine the number of chromosomes in each cell, and both spouses must undergo this analysis to detect any genetic abnormalities that may lead to miscarriage.

2. **Detection of the structure of the uterus:** There are several ways to evaluate the structure of the uterus, such as performing ultrasound images, color imaging of the uterus, using a tube equipped with a camera inside the uterus, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These methods are considered among the most important means of detecting the safety of the uterus and fallopian tubes, as they help in identifying any abnormalities that may lead to miscarriage.

3. **Hormonal tests:**  Blood tests can measure the levels of some hormones such as thyroid hormones, prolactin, and androgen in a woman's body. This test also provides information about the level of sugar and blood hemoglobin, and aims to detect any hormonal imbalance that may contribute to miscarriage.

4. **Infection detection:**   This examination includes studying the fluids that come out of the uterus and measuring the levels of antibiotics in the mother's blood. This examination is considered an important step in understanding the causes of miscarriage by identifying possible infections.

5. **Immune system detection:**At this stage, the secretions of antibodies that may affect miscarriage are examined, especially hormones associated with antiphospholipid syndrome.

6. **Egg preservation analysis:**   This analysis is requested to study the mechanism of ovulation in women and detect any problems that may affect the ovaries, as the presence of a defect in the ovaries may lead to genetic abnormalities in the fetus and thus miscarriage.

7. **Sperm quality detection:**   Sperm quality analysis in males, through fertility tests and (DFI), helps assess the quality of the sperm produced. Any defect in the nucleus or chromosomes of the sperm, in addition to the disintegration of the genetic code (DNA), is one of the main causes of miscarriage.

**What is the treatment for different types of miscarriage?**

**Treatment of threatened miscarriage:** The doctor recommends rest, as rest is a preventive measure to reduce pain, although it is not a direct treatment. Any diseases related to the thyroid gland should also be treated if present. Blood sugar levels should also be controlled if a woman suffers from recurrent miscarriage, either through medication or insulin. In addition, prolactin levels in the blood should be monitored.

**Treatment of forgotten miscarriage:** Treatment is determined based on each woman's condition, and the most prominent options include:

- Following up on the mother's health condition without intervention, as the woman's body is waited for to realize that there is no life in the uterus, which leads to the expulsion of its contents. This requires some patience and pain tolerance.

- In some cases, medications can be taken to help dilate the cervix to facilitate the expulsion process.

- If the condition requires it, surgical intervention may be performed through a simple procedure to extract the dead fetus, especially if the miscarriage occurs during the second trimester of pregnancy, when the fetus is large enough to require surgical intervention.

**Treatment of early miscarriage:** Medications can be used to help the body expel pregnancy tissue and the placenta naturally. Usually, miscarriage cannot be avoided, but it is important to follow a lifestyle that reduces the risks, such as following up with a doctor and receiving regular prenatal care. Risk factors that may lead to miscarriage should be avoided, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and using medications without consulting a doctor. It is also recommended to take vitamins and limit caffeine consumption, as recent studies have shown that consuming more than two caffeinated drinks per day may increase the risk of miscarriage.

**Treatment of recurrent miscarriage:** The specialist doctor conducts the necessary examinations and studies medical tests to determine the cause of recurrent miscarriage. After determining the cause, the appropriate treatment stage for each case begins. Treatment of recurrent miscarriage may include the following:

**Recurrent miscarriage due to genetic disorders:** If the tests show a genetic problem in one of the parents, the best way to deal with this condition and reduce recurrent miscarriage is to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). In this type of treatment, female eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory environment to form an embryo, and then the embryo is subjected to a genetic examination. If the results are genetically sound, it is implanted inside the uterus. In the event of genetically deformed embryos, donated eggs or embryos should be used.

**Treatment of threatened miscarriage:** The doctor recommends rest as a preventive measure to relieve pain, although it is not a direct treatment. It is also necessary to treat any health problems related to the thyroid gland if they exist. Blood sugar levels should also be controlled if the woman suffers from repeated miscarriages, either through medication or insulin. In addition, prolactin levels in the blood should be monitored.

**Treatment of incomplete miscarriage:** Treatment is determined according to each woman's condition, and the most prominent options include:

- Monitoring the mother's health condition without intervention, as it is waited until the woman's body realizes that the uterus is empty of life, which leads to the expulsion of its contents. This requires some patience and pain tolerance.

- In some cases, medications can be used to help dilate the cervix to facilitate the expulsion process.

- If the condition requires it, surgical intervention may be performed through a simple procedure to extract the dead fetus, especially if the miscarriage occurs during the second trimester of pregnancy, when the size of the fetus is larger than what requires surgical intervention.
