Signs of missed abortion

Symptoms of missed abortion in the first and the second half is different. Typically, missed abortion is found in a few days or weeks after the death of the fetus. How to recognize a missed abortion? When the child stops growing, and the uterus stops increasing. Some women notice the disappearance of the symptoms of pregnancy as breast tenderness, fatigue, and so on, while others continue to feel as during pregnancy as the placenta continues to produce hormones of pregnancy (including human chorionic gonadotropin, because of which the home test pregnancy shows a positive result). If a woman has had an early morning sickness, missed abortion when he passes. Nausea during pregnancy decreases the stood immediately, but after a few days she also runs.

For some women, pregnancy in the early stages of the proceeds without significant symptoms, so they may not notice symptoms and missed abortion Symptoms missed abortion - beware . Most women think that the pregnancy develops, because there is nothing unusual is happening - no bleeding or severe pain in the abdomen Severe abdominal pain: possible causes . Suspicion of missed abortion in such a case occurs after the medical examination of women's advice: there is a mismatch between the size of uterine gestation.

After a few days or weeks after the death of the fetus can appear brownish vaginal discharge. Bright red vaginal discharge and cramping in the lower abdomen, similar to the pain during menstruation suggests starting miscarriage Miscarriage - can you protect yourself from it? . But in the allocation of non-viable pregnancy may be absent. When bleeding (earthy, bright red, etc.) vaginal discharge The whole truth about vaginal secretions   Pregnant women should as soon as possible to see a doctor. In addition, it is best to consult a specialist immediately, even on the phone, if you instinctively feel that pregnancy is not as it should. Such intuitions women are often correct.

Temperature missed abortion does not appear immediately, but after a few days or weeks after the death of the fetus, and says that the dead fetus became a source of infection - a condition that can endanger the woman's life.

Since missed abortion is accompanied by the operation of removing the fetus from the uterus, it can lead to a breach of internal (basal) layer of the mucous membrane of the uterus, and the impossibility of further implementation of the fertilized egg into it.

The probability of getting pregnant after a missed abortion, if she was the only one, is 80-90%, that is, the majority of women will no longer have any problems with conception and childbearing. If the woman was not the only missed abortion, pregnancy is recommended only after a thorough examination and treatment. In most cases, these women may thereafter a healthy baby.

Suspected missed abortion may be a doctor during a routine inspection. In the first half of pregnancy, your doctor may notice a discrepancy in uterine size juice of pregnancy, and the second - the lack of fetal movements and his heartbeat.

If you suspect a pregnancy fade carried ultrasound (US). On ultrasound shows that the baby's size does not correspond to the term of pregnancy, and there is no heartbeat. How to identify missed abortion in the second half? Also on the appropriate size of the fetus in pregnancy for that carried out the measurement of its tubular bones. A sign of fetal death is also a decrease in the amount of deformation of the fetal head, and by the expansion of brain tissue, but this feature does not appear immediately.

Analysis in missed abortion are of secondary importance. So the amount of blood the main female hormone first half of pregnancy, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) with missed abortion does not change immediately. Initially, the contents of hCG in the blood ceases to grow, and only a few days gradually reduced. Does the test missed abortion? By means of a pregnancy test is determined by the presence or absence of HCG in the urine. Non-pregnant women of hCG in the urine is not. But since missed abortion HCG does not immediately disappear from the blood (and therefore the urine) test for another one to two weeks or more after the fading of pregnancy is positive. That is, in fact, this test is more likely a woman will enter into error.
