Threatened miscarriage refers to the occurrence of symptoms suggesting a possible miscarriage, such as severe abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding. However, a threatened miscarriage does not always progress to an actual miscarriage. With appropriate treatment and oral medication, the majority of embryos can be saved during a threatened miscarriage. If the quality of the embryo is poor and the symptoms of threatened miscarriage continue to worsen, it may develop into a natural miscarriage. However, there is no specific clinical guideline on how many days it may take for a natural miscarriage to occur following a threatened miscarriage. If the symptoms of threatened miscarriage are mild, with only slight abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, it may not lead to a natural miscarriage, or it might take up to a week to occur naturally. If the symptoms of threatened miscarriage are severe, featuring intense abdominal pain or heavy vaginal bleeding, it generally may result in a natural miscarriage within one to two days.

Early symptoms of threatened miscarriage

Premature birth refers to the condition where delivery occurs after the pregnancy has reached 28 weeks but before completing 37 weeks. Premature infants have a very high mortality rate. If a woman experiences prolonged back pain and a hardening of the lower abdomen during this time, it is due to contractions of the uterus. There can also be vaginal discharge of fluids, indicating early breaking of waters. Increased vaginal discharge, sometimes with traces of blood, might also indicate imminent premature birth; medical check-ups and treatment should be sought immediately.

Can you take a bath with a threatened miscarriage?

If a threatened miscarriage occurs, it indicates that the connection between the embryo and the mother is not yet secure, making bleeding likely. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid bathing at this time to prevent exacerbating vaginal bleeding and promoting the progression of miscarriage. During the threatened miscarriage phase, it is best to avoid what can be avoided. Wait until the vaginal bleeding has stopped and abdominal pain has disappeared for a week before bathing, as the impact will be minimal by then.

Can a threatened miscarriage have a transvaginal ultrasound?

Whether or not to perform a transvaginal ultrasound during a threatened miscarriage mainly depends on the symptoms of the threatened miscarriage. A threatened miscarriage refers to the signs of a potential miscarriage, with common symptoms including vaginal bleeding and severe abdominal pain. If there is significant abdominal pain, a transvaginal ultrasound can be performed to determine the position of the gestational sac, or an abdominal ultrasound can also be done. If there is vaginal bleeding, performing a transvaginal ultrasound in this case may aggravate stimulation to the uterus and can easily lead to vaginal inflammation. In such cases, an abdominal ultrasound is generally recommended. Therefore, a transvaginal ultrasound can be performed if there is only abdominal pain during a threatened miscarriage, but it should not be done if there is concurrent vaginal bleeding.
