But sometimes a long-awaited meeting takes place ahead of schedule. Among the main reasons for gestation are many. Chromosomal diseases lead to the death of the embryo and miscarriage within 6 weeks. Such violations are usually not related to heredity: at the time of the meeting of the maternal and paternal cells there is a "genetic breakdown". The mechanism of natural selection is triggered, nature itself seeks to get rid of the non-viable germ. Many doctors agree with her, who do not recommend keeping the pregnancy if the signs of the threat of interruption have appeared within 5-6 weeks.
To this same leads myoma - a benign tumor. Women with such a diagnosis planning to conceive a child, with the growth of a myomatous node, are prescribed conservative or surgical treatment. In order for pregnancy to proceed without complications, the functional state of the inner shell of the uterus, the endometrium, to which the fetal egg is attached, is important. If damage to its deep layers often occurs pathology of attachment of the placenta and the risk of miscarriage increases. Similar disorders usually develop in women who have suffered several instrumental abortions, inflammatory processes after intrauterine manipulation or against a background of sexually transmitted diseases
Glands of internal secretion produce biologically active substances - hormones that regulate the processes of conception, growth and development of the fetus. In the first 16 weeks for the development of the fetus, "responds" progesterone. With ovarian inflammation, uterine roughness, endometriometritis, the level of progesterone in the blood decreases, and in the first trimester the threat of termination of pregnancy increases. If the problem is identified on time, injections of the hormone will help keep the baby. An increase in the level of male sex hormones, androgens, leads to ischemic-cervical insufficiency (ICI). The cervix opens and does not hold the fetal egg (ICI also develops due to injuries to the neck and neck of the uterus in abortions, childbirth). Termination of pregnancy can cause any hormonal failure, a conflict over the blood group in the mother and child. The cause of habitual miscarriage is often an antiphospholipid syndrome. A disease in which immune antibodies are produced by the body against components of its own tissues. Sometimes the disease proceeds secretly, and the syndrome is first detected only in case of miscarriage. In this case, after the onset of pregnancy, the process of insertion of the fetal egg into the endometrium is broken, an inferior placenta is formed, blood clots in the mother's blood vessels arise. During the entire pregnancy a woman will have to take hormonal medications, medicines to normalize blood clotting.
Termination of pregnancy causes sexually transmitted diseases - chlamydia, ureaplasmosis, mycoplasmosis, trichomoniasis, herpes, cytomegalovirus, etc. Avoiding also acute inflammatory and common infectious diseases: tonsillitis, influenza, rubella, viral hepatitis. The cause of termination of pregnancy at any time may be hypertensive disease, heart disease, pyelonephritis, appendicitis, trauma (especially the brain), severe working conditions, taking certain medications.
Prevention and therapy
Therapy of miscarriage is usually reduced to a protective regime:
- physical and emotional stresses are excluded, sexual contacts are limited (especially on days corresponding to the period of menstruation). If there have already been cases of miscarriage, a woman is hospitalized until the period when the termination of pregnancy occurred last time.
- Pregnant women prescribe drugs that reduce the tone of the uterus, improve uterine-placental blood circulation, drugs to prevent respiratory disorders in premature newborns.
- As maintenance therapy prescribe drugs and non-medicinal products (acupuncture, physiotherapy). Equally important is the regulation of the stool and the fight against constipation.
Simple psychological exercises
Sit more conveniently in the chair (or bed, if the doctor prescribed a strict bed rest), mentally refer to the baby. Tell the baby that you will definitely meet, but not now, and later, when the time comes. Several times a day, repeat to yourself: "I am absolutely healthy and can bear my baby." If proper diagnosis is performed, the threat of premature birth is excluded.
