Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for two months, experiencing abdominal pain and cramps every morning, and even white discharge from the vagina. Actually, I am very worried every day, truly worried that I might experience another threatened miscarriage. Will a threatened miscarriage cause heavy bleeding?Doctor's answer:
The specific time of threatened miscarriage can occur at any point before the 28th week of early pregnancy, although it can also occur around the 40th day of early pregnancy. When a patient experiences abdominal pain or notices vaginal bleeding, but the bleeding is not heavy and before the fetal sac is expelled, it is referred to as threatened miscarriage. Many patients can continue with early pregnancy with proper fetal care and rest treatment. Therefore, if early pregnancy is confirmed and abnormal bleeding occurs before 40 days of menopause, there is a need for extensive fetal care and rest treatment. The signs of threatened miscarriage are usually minimal vaginal bleeding, mild lower abdominal pain, or increased lower back pain. If a pregnant woman notices signs of threatened miscarriage, she should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and should not decide to take pregnancy-preserving medication on her own. Seeking advice from a doctor is particularly important.
