Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been experiencing some mild abdominal pain and feel like I might be having symptoms of a threatened miscarriage. When might this threatened miscarriage happen again?Doctor's answer:
Preterm labor often occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, with the main symptoms being abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. If preterm labor reoccurs within three months of pregnancy, it is usually preceded by vaginal bleeding, followed by abdominal and lower back pain. If you experience abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding again after becoming pregnant, it is likely a sign of preterm labor. You should promptly seek medical attention at a reputable hospital for examinations such as gynecological ultrasound. If it is confirmed to be preterm labor, active treatment to preserve the pregnancy should be initiated.
