Unfortunately, not every pregnancy proceeds as we would like, and ends with a positive result. Sometimes the outcome is very sad, which requires mandatory medical intervention in order to prevent infection of the woman's blood. If we talk about the signs of a frozen pregnancy, then you can diagnose it yourself. The most important symptom that should alert a woman is the appearance of spotting. In any case, such discharge should force the pregnant woman to consult a doctor, since this already indicates a pathology of fetal development, the threat of miscarriage, and other not-too-pleasant phenomena that should be immediately eliminated. In addition, signs of a missed pregnancy may include an increase in temperature and the appearance of pulling and cutting pains in the lower abdomen. In some ways, these pains will resemble the discomfort that many women experience during menstruation.
It is generally accepted that a missed pregnancy can only happen at an early stage,however, this opinion is considered erroneous. Often this pathology occurs at a later date. And if we talk about the signs of a missed pregnancy in the second trimester, then they are considered to be the absence of fetal movements. In principle, such a deviation is possible if the expectant mother has already felt certain jolts and movements. Regardless of the time period during which these symptoms appear, it is imperative to consult a doctor.
Unfortunately, a missed pregnancy does not have a reverse outcome, it will result in either spontaneous expulsion of the fetal egg from the uterus, or medical or surgical intervention. In any case, a procedure such as curettage is mandatory in order to exclude the possibility of infection of the woman's blood.
Signs of a missed pregnancy, especially when it comes to early pregnancy, may not appear at all. Sometimes it is possible to identify the resulting pathology of development only on a planned ultrasound. However, it is advisable for the future mother to listen to herself, since even the abruptly stopped toxicosis, which accompanied her from the first weeks, can speak of a frozen pregnancy. This also includes a decrease in the pain of the mammary glands, as well as a decrease in basal temperature. Bloody discharge is a sign of a missed pregnancy, regardless of the term, and serves as a mandatory reason to see a doctor.
If we talk aboutreasons for stopping the development of the fetus in the womb, then it is rather difficult to come to one universal solution to this problem. Most often, for example, the causes of a missed pregnancy in the early stages are the use of various medications, hormonal disorders (more often a lack of progesterone), various infectious processes that could begin before or during pregnancy and were not completely cured. Also, the reason for stopping the formation of the fetus may be the presence of bad habits and hazardous production factors at work for the expectant mother.
