What should I do if I have a miscarriage at 7 months of pregnancy? What are the causes of spontaneous abortion?

The last three months of pregnancy are also a dangerous period of miscarriage. Since the fetus is already quite large at this time, premature birth is most likely not a problem with the fetus, but due to the physical condition of the pregnant woman. Therefore, the doctor will adopt a strategy to preserve the fetus. So what should you do if you have a miscarriage in 7 months of pregnancy? Let's take a look at it together.

Is it okay to have an abortion at 7 months of pregnancy?

It is generally believed that spontaneous abortion usually occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, that is, the first three months of pregnancy. The last three months of pregnancy are also a dangerous period. Pregnant women should be vigilant to avoid abortion. Experts say that abortion is usually performed within 100 days of pregnancy. If it exceeds 100 days, induced abortion is the only option. Induced abortion is generally a method for pregnant women who are more than 3 months pregnant and need to terminate the pregnancy.

The dangerous period of miscarriage and the explanation of the causes of miscarriage

The risk period of spontaneous abortion is mainly in the first three months of pregnancy. This kind of spontaneous abortion is mostly caused by abnormalities in the chromosomes of the fetus, which is a period of natural selection. If it is not a natural selection phenomenon caused by abnormal chromosomes of the fetus, but a miscarriage caused by problems of the pregnant woman herself, the fundamental solution is to find out the problem, and then prescribe the right medicine to avoid another miscarriage.

Major signs of miscarriage

Vaginal bleeding: Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is abnormal and should be treated with caution. According to statistics, about half of pregnant women with vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy can continue to be pregnant successfully, about 30% of pregnant women will have spontaneous abortion, 5% will have ectopic pregnancy, and a very small number of pregnant women will have hydatidiform mole, disease and other factors;

Abdominal cramps: Mild abdominal pain can usually be treated by bed rest, but if it is severe or accompanied by vaginal bleeding, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible;

Uterine contractions: In the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, if you feel that the frequency of uterine contractions is getting more and more frequent, or even reaches a regular contraction every ten or twenty minutes, or if you feel pain during contractions, you should pay special attention.

Causes of spontaneous abortion

1. Sudden changes in emotions: Pregnant women’s emotions are severely stimulated, and excessive sadness, shock, fear, and excessive emotional excitement can cause environmental imbalance in the pregnant woman’s body, prompting uterine contractions and causing miscarriage.

2. Endocrine dysfunction: The fertilized egg can implant on the uterine wall and grow into a fetus only under the action of progesterone. When the body secretes insufficient progesterone, the uterine decidua will be underdeveloped, thus affecting the development of the fertilized egg and easily causing miscarriage.

3. The embryo itself has defects: the embryo dies when it develops to a certain extent, and miscarriage usually occurs in about two months.

In addition, pregnant women should pay attention to the use of skin care products, such as using less aromatherapy beauty skin care, especially for pregnant women within 3 months of pregnancy, because essential oils may cause miscarriage. Pregnant women can wear light makeup, but never heavy makeup, because cosmetics may contain ingredients that are harmful to the human body and thus cause harm to the fetus.
