Perhaps the main symptom of spontaneous miscarriage in the early term is uterine bleeding, which can sometimes be insignificant. In most cases, such a termination of pregnancy begins with weak, almost invisible blood, which eventually intensifies.
How can one recognize spontaneous abortion on an early basis?
As already mentioned above, it is bloody discharge that is the first sign of spontaneous abortion of pregnancy on small terms. In this case, the color may vary from bright scarlet to brown.
As for the volume of these data, it can also be different. The only thing that in all cases of spontaneous miscarriage allocation lasts more than one day.
As for pain, as one of the symptoms of spontaneous miscarriage, they, sometimes, may be absent. In some cases, pain may appear and then disappear for a while. Sometimes there may be spasms in the lower abdomen.
The general condition of a woman with the passage of time only worsens. Sometimes this can happen so dramatically that a woman does not even notice the presence of any signs of spontaneous miscarriage, observed in the early stages of pregnancy. About him, the woman recognizes by the presence of only pieces of tissue in the secretions.
In most cases, the fetus dies long before it begins to be excreted by the body from the uterine cavity. So often it comes out in parts. In those cases when there is still a complete excretion, it looks like a small, grayish rounded bladder. This happens on very short terms of pregnancy (1-2 weeks).
What kinds of spontaneous miscarriage is it customary to allocate?
Depending on how the spontaneous abortion took place, it is customary for doctors to distinguish:
- incomplete (inevitable) spontaneous abortion - is observed when there is an increase in the lumen of the cervix and rupture of the fetal membrane. It is accompanied by painful sensations in the lumbar region or in the lower abdomen, which do not stop for a long time;
- complete spontaneous abortion is observed in the case when the fetus or the embryo completely leaves the uterine cavity. In this case, the pain and bleeding that occur are stopped;
- When the spontaneous miscarriage does not occur, the fetus dies, but does not leave the uterus. This condition, as a rule, is found only at the next examination of the pregnant woman and listening to the fetal heartbeats.
It is also necessary to say about such a type of spontaneous abortion as anembryonia. With this violation after the occurred fertilization, the embryo does not form.
It is also often put and such a diagnosis as a threatening spontaneous miscarriage. This condition is characterized by minor uterine bleeding or increased contractile activity of the uterus musculature in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. The size of the uterus at the same time corresponds to the period of pregnancy, and the outer yawn is closed. This condition is considered reversible, and with successful timely treatment, pregnancy can later develop normally.
How does spontaneous miscarriage occur at an early stage and how long does it last?
In most cases, the spontaneous abortion of pregnancy begins suddenly, against a background of general well-being.
The pain appears even when the uterus by way of contractile movements of the myometrium tries to get rid of the deceased fetus. At this time, women can note the appearance in the secretions of pieces of fetal tissue that are seen in the blood clots.
As for the duration of spontaneous abortion, it may be different, but on average it is 3-4 days (from the moment of the onset of excretions to the complete expulsion of the fetus from the uterus).
