Will I have miscarriage if I am more than five months pregnant?

Women will feel uncomfortable when they are pregnant. When they find out that they are unexpectedly pregnant, it is best to be mentally prepared to have a child, because abortion not only harms their own body, but also destroys a life. Before 50 days of pregnancy, the baby has not yet formed. If you don’t want the baby, it is best to choose abortion at this time. However, after more than 50 days, you can only choose induced abortion.

Can I still have a miscarriage at 5 months of pregnancy?

Generally speaking, women can choose to have an abortion within four months of pregnancy, but strictly speaking, this is not considered miscarriage and should be classified as induced labor. For women with an unexpected pregnancy, choosing when to have an abortion is a headache but an issue that needs to be taken seriously. If you choose to have a medical abortion, it is best to do it before 42 days of pregnancy. If you choose surgical abortion, the best time is 40-70 days after pregnancy, and the earlier the better. It mainly includes intrauterine aspiration, which needs to be performed within 10 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the embryo is still small and the embryonic tissue can be sucked out with a suction device that generates negative pressure. However, after 4 months of pregnancy, that is, 12-24 weeks of pregnancy, the use of artificial means to terminate the pregnancy is called mid-pregnancy induced labor. This period is characterized by the formation of the placenta, the larger fetus, the hardening of the bones, and the need for full cervical dilation during delivery. In addition, as the uterus enlarges and the uterine wall becomes congested and softened, it is easy to damage the uterine wall during surgery. Therefore, mid-term induced labor is more difficult and has more complications than early abortion, so early abortion should be performed as much as possible.

What to do if you have threatened miscarriage

It is recommended to eat more foods rich in soy isoflavones and natural vitamin E, which can help women's bodies produce more progesterone. Follow the doctor's advice and do prenatal check-ups.

But try to minimize unnecessary vaginal examinations to reduce stimulation to the uterus. You need to stay in bed and rest, and sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. Reduce squat movements and avoid bumps and vibrations. Avoid constipation and diarrhea whenever possible. Do not be frightened or overly stimulated mentally, avoid anger and sadness, and do not have any mental worries. Threatened abortion requires treatment to preserve the fetus, which generally requires progesterone supplementation and bed rest, active preservation of the fetus, and relaxation, which is more beneficial to the fetus. In the early stages of pregnancy, be careful not to eat spicy or greasy foods, drink alcohol, smoke, or eat crabs or other irritating foods.
