Pregnant mothers are often worried, this one does not dare to eat, that dare not work, for fear of a careless accident.
Here Xiaojing wants to remind everyone not to be too anxious, the fetus is not as fragile as we think, of course, do not take it lightly, especially in the first trimester.
Data show that the clinical pregnancy miscarriage rate reaches 10%-20%, the first 3 months of the first trimester account for 80% of the total, after 12 weeks of pregnancy, the probability of miscarriage drops to 3%-4%, and after 20 weeks, it is only 1/160.
In this issue, we look at several risk factors for miscarriage in pregnant women.
Genetic factors
For some pregnant mothers who miscarry, especially those with frequent miscarriages, we need to consider whether there are genetic factors, including embryonic chromosomal abnormalities and couple chromosomal abnormalities.
- Chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo
Relevant studies have shown that nearly half of sporadic early spontaneous abortions have chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo, and the earlier the miscarriage, the higher the chance of chromosomal abnormalities.
- Couple chromosomal abnormalities
If one of the chromosomes in the couple is abnormal, it may be one of the causes of miscarriage.
Anatomical abnormalities
Congenital malformations of the uterus, uterine fibroids, cervical insufficiency, etc. may cause miscarriage.
Immune factors
Under normal circumstances, there is a barrier between the placenta between the mother and the fetus, and there will be no rejection, and if some of the immune factors are abnormal, it will cause immune rejection, resulting in miscarriage.
Endocrine factors
For example, abnormal thyroid function can also increase the chance of adverse pregnancy in pregnant women, causing miscarriage, premature birth, placental abruption and other problems.
It is recommended that those with abnormal thyroid function prepare for pregnancy 3 months after the thyroid function returns to normal.
In addition, things like high blood sugar, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc., may also cause miscarriage.
eld
Decreased sperm quality in advanced maternal age older than 35 years or men older than 45 years may cause fetal interruption during pregnancy.
Being overweight or underweight
Being overweight or underweight during pregnancy can directly affect egg quality and hormone production in the body.
Bad habits
Regular smoking and drinking are also possible factors that cause miscarriage, so stay away from the environment of tobacco and alcohol during pregnancy and maintain healthy living habits.
External environment
Frequent exposure to radiation, noise, ultrasound, etc. during pregnancy can greatly increase the risk of miscarriage.
How long do I rest after a spontaneous abortion?
It is recommended to rest for 1-2 weeks after abortion, depending on the individual's physical condition. Of course, compared with physical rest, we should also pay attention to the psychological state of women after abortion, and family members should give full comfort and care.
Generally, 3 months after the miscarriage, the next pregnancy can begin.
How can miscarriage be prevented?
1. Prepare for pregnancy
Pay attention to physical examination before pregnancy, maintain good living habits, and actively exercise to create a healthy "fertility environment" for the fetus.
2. Regular prenatal checkup
Pay attention to regular examinations during pregnancy, especially pregnant mothers with a history of miscarriage or family genetic history, timely prenatal examination can detect problems in time and reduce the risk of miscarriage.
3. Fertility at the right age
The best childbearing age for women and men is basically around 25-35 years old, and individual differences are not excluded.
Women at this age have mature bodies, high egg quality, and good fetal development; Similarly, sperm motility is higher in men at this stage, which has a positive effect on embryo quality.
In short, the risk of childbirth at the right age is relatively lower, and at the same time, pregnant mothers maintain moderate exercise, timely prenatal examination, and happy mood during pregnancy, so as to give birth to healthy babies.
