Patient's question:
I am a 32-year-old woman. My husband and I started trying to conceive right after getting married, and now I am pregnant. However, I am very worried. Could you please tell me what the symptoms are of a miscarriage at 40 weeks?Doctor's answer:
Preterm labor refers to symptoms that indicate a miscarriage but can be resolved with treatment, allowing the pregnancy to continue to full term. It commonly occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, accompanied by early morning symptoms, minimal vaginal bleeding, a discharge less than the amount of menstruation, and mild intermittent uterine contractions. During a gynecological examination, the uterus remains closed, the amniotic sac is intact, and the size of the uterus matches the gestational age. The pregnancy test is positive. It is often seen in cases of luteal phase deficiency, increased uterine sensitivity, and other conditions. If the vaginal bleeding continues to increase or the lower abdominal pain intensifies, it may develop into inevitable miscarriage.
