What to do if you have a miscarriage during pregnancy

Nowadays, the chance of spontaneous abortion is getting higher and higher, which will have a great impact on our lives. Spontaneous abortion after pregnancy actually includes many types. For example, some people do not pay enough attention or are overworked, work intensively during pregnancy, etc. There is no need to be nervous after a spontaneous abortion. Go to the hospital to check the situation of the abortion first, and continue the pregnancy after recovery.

What to do if you have a miscarriage during pregnancy

Most studies have shown that the incidence of spontaneous abortion is 10-15%, which means that there may be 10-15 spontaneous abortions in 100 pregnancies, while the incidence of biochemical pregnancy is 30%-40%, the incidence of two consecutive spontaneous abortions is 5%, and the incidence of three consecutive or more habitual abortions is 0.4-1.0%.

Such a high incidence of spontaneous abortion will naturally involve many couples, causing a lot of confusion and negative emotions, but in fact, doctors only pay close attention to those patients who have miscarried three times or more. Why do you say that?

Because many studies have shown that after one spontaneous abortion, the risk of the next spontaneous abortion is about 15%; after two spontaneous abortions, the risk of the next spontaneous abortion is about 30%; after three or more consecutive abortions, the risk of spontaneous abortion in the next pregnancy is 30-45%. Researchers generally believe that the more miscarriages a woman has, the higher the recurrence rate.

That is to say, without any treatment, patients who have experienced 1-2 spontaneous miscarriages have more than 70% chance of becoming pregnant again, not to mention the guidance of a doctor and corresponding measures to preserve the fetus. So there is no need to be too nervous and put a lot of pressure on yourself.

What we are really concerned about are the patients who have experienced 4, 5 or even more than 10 miscarriages, and sometimes we deeply regret that we are powerless to do anything. The first time I met a patient who had suffered 12 miscarriages was more than ten years ago. Her family background and experience made us feel deeply sad for her. She had not graduated yet at that time and was working on a related project with her supervisor. As far as I can remember, she seemed not to have been cured and I didn't want to think about it again.

For patients who have had more than three miscarriages, the examination must be the most comprehensive, and no possible problems should be missed. The pain and pressure caused by miscarriage are indeed great, so the next pregnancy must be based on the best preparation and the most complete follow-up treatment. Even so, there will be patients who have another miscarriage, because the natural elimination of abnormal chromosomes in the embryo itself cannot be ruled out.

If I have to explain the same problem over and over again every time in the outpatient clinic, it can sometimes be a bit annoying. Coupled with the patient's stubbornness and the tight time in the outpatient clinic, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results. Therefore, I hope that through these articles, comrades can calm themselves down and spend more time discussing treatment plans with doctors, rather than just venting their emotions. Appropriate venting is fine, but excessive demands will hinder the doctor's judgment.
