How do you know if you're having a miscarriage symptom?
What's scarier than that idea that you're having a miscarriage
symptom? It's hard for me to write this without feeling
some anxiety for you who read this.
First, let's get the facts straight before leaping to conclusions:
|
One common miscarriage symptom is bleeding from the vagina.
This bleeding may be light or heavy, constant or irregular. It
can sometimes be difficult to know whether light bleeding is a
miscarriage symptom.
But if your vaginal bleeding comes with pain, it's more
likely to be a miscarriage symptom. This miscarriage symptom pain
can be pelvic cramps, abdominal pain, or a persistent dull lower
back ache. It may may not begin until a few hours or days after
the vaginal bleeding.
If you pass blood clots or grayish tissue from your vagina,
this also may be a miscarriage symptom.
It isn't always easy to tell whether a miscarriage is taking
place - it may happen over a number of days, and one miscarriage
symptom experience can be very different another's.
Some miscarriages cause no symptoms for several weeks after the
fetus has died. This is called a missed miscarriage. Breast tenderness
and weight gain diminish. You'll need a medical examination to
identify a missed miscarriage.
How is a miscarriage diagnosed?
If you are concerned that you might be miscarrying, see your
health professional. If your symptoms and a pelvic examination
do not confirm whether a miscarriage is in process, your health
professional can test your blood for changes in your pregnancy
hormone levels, perform an ultrasound test, or both.
