Patient's question:
Just got pregnant.Doctor's answer:
Preterm labor refers to the presence of signs of miscarriage, but after treatment to prevent miscarriage, it may still be possible to continue the pregnancy to full term. It commonly occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, accompanied by early morning sickness, slight vaginal bleeding, bleeding less than the amount of a menstrual period, and mild intermittent uterine contractions. During a gynecological examination, the uterus is not dilated, 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 conditions such as luteal phase deficiency and increased uterine sensitivity. If the amount of vaginal bleeding increases or lower abdominal pain worsens, it may develop into inevitable miscarriage.Three months before pregnancy, the uterus is relatively sensitive, and sometimes mild lower abdominal discomfort may occur. However, this is not preterm labor. If this occurs, it is important to rest and seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and treatment to prevent miscarriage.
