In general, when threatened miscarriage occurs, pregnant women often experience abdominal pain. This pain is usually a dull ache in the lower abdomen, similar to the pain experienced during menstrual cramps. If the symptoms of threatened miscarriage are severe and the pain is quite pronounced, miscarriage may occur. This type of pain is mainly caused by contractions of the uterus. Besides abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding often accompanies this condition, which can also lead to miscarriage. When threatened miscarriage occurs, it is essential to rest in bed, reduce physical activity, avoid emotional stress, and consider visiting a hospital for an ultrasound to observe the development of the gestational sac.

How long should one stay in bed for a threatened miscarriage?

Threatened miscarriage, as the name implies, is the appearance of signs of miscarriage, such as lower abdominal pain, bleeding, and a feeling of heaviness. For threatened miscarriage, it is appropriate to choose bed rest for treatment, but absolute bed rest is not necessary during threatened miscarriage. Prolonged bed rest is not always beneficial for the recovery of a woman’s health. Being bedridden for a long time can cause constipation, prevent vaginal bleeding from being expelled, and lead to mental stress. It is generally recommended to get out of bed for light activities during the day, aside from normal sleeping hours. Simple, light activities will not worsen the miscarriage. Generally, after a threatened miscarriage, it is advised to rest in bed for 3-5 days at most, and during this period, it is necessary to get out of bed intermittently.

Threatened miscarriage how many days naturally miscarry

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.

Can a threatened miscarriage be treated to preserve the pregnancy?

In cases of threatened miscarriage, whether to continue the pregnancy depends on the specific situation of the pregnant woman and the embryo inside the womb. If the vaginal bleeding is relatively minor, there is no severe abdominal pain, and an ultrasound shows that the embryo is still alive, then it is possible to continue with medication to maintain the pregnancy. However, if the symptoms of threatened miscarriage are severe after it occurs, and ultrasounds show abnormal embryo development, along with a continuous decline in human chorionic gonadotropin levels, these conditions indicate that miscarriage is inevitable, and it is generally not recommended to continue trying to maintain the pregnancy.

How long should one rest for a threatened miscarriage?

During the occurrence of threatened miscarriage, it is generally necessary to rest in bed for a week. During this period, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor to preserve the pregnancy, and prenatal follow-up visits should be made at the hospital. There is abdominal pain or spotting during a miscarriage, but it has not yet progressed to the extent of miscarriage, so treatment to preserve the pregnancy can be administered. Additionally, emotional stability should be maintained during pregnancy preservation, avoiding stimulating the patient, ensuring rest, enhancing nutrition, and maintaining genital hygiene. Furthermore, during the pregnancy preservation period, one should rest in bed as much as possible and avoid activity.
