Will contractions in the second trimester cause a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to what you said, it is not easy to determine. Generally, occasional contractions may occur during pregnancy, which usually do not affect the fetus. Severe contractions can lead to fetal hypoxia and changes in fetal heart rate. If the contractions are not severe, they should not be a problem. It is better to have a follow-up ultrasound promptly.
