Patient's question:
I can say I'm an older mother, so every time I'm pregnant, it's very difficult to sit, I can say it's almost impossible to sit. Now I hear people say that children with threatened miscarriage are smart. Is this viewpoint correct?Doctor's answer:
This theory lacks any basis and is not particularly significant. First, threatened miscarriage does not interfere with a child's intelligence. Threatened miscarriage is generally caused by overexertion or sexual intercourse, leading to minimal vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain. It typically occurs again around week 12 of pregnancy because before week 12, the placenta has not yet fully developed. The gestational sac is more susceptible to external stimulation, making it easier to detach from the uterine wall and cause bleeding. After week 12, a few people may still experience threatened miscarriage, but it is generally treatable and does not interfere with the normal growth and development of the fetus or its nervous system. Therefore, the intelligence level of children with threatened miscarriage is more related to postnatal nurturing.
