Miscarriage

A threatened miscarriage or spontaneous abortion occurs in approximately 10% of pregnancies between 7 and 12 weeks of gestation. Symptoms include vaginal bleeding, abdominal cramps, and low back pain.

A threatened miscarriage is a condition that suggests a miscarriage might take place before the 20th week of pregnancy.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Some pregnant women have some vaginal bleeding, with or without abdominal cramps, during the first three months of pregnancy. When the symptoms indicate a miscarriage is possible, the condition is called a "threatened abortion." (This refers to a naturally occurring event, not medical abortions or surgical abortions.)
Miscarriage occurs in about half of pregnancies with first trimester bleeding.
For more information, see: Miscarriage

Symptoms

Symptoms of a threatened miscarriage include:

• Abdominal cramps with or without vaginal bleeding
• Vaginal bleeding during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy (last menstrual period was less than 20 weeks ago)

Note: During an actual miscarriage, low back pain or abdominal pain (dull to sharp, constant to intermittent) typically occurs, and tissue or clot-like material may pass from the vagina.

Signs and tests

Abdominal or vaginal ultrasound may be done to check the baby's development, heart beat, and amount of bleeding. A pelvic exam will be done to check the cervix.
The following blood tests may be performed:

• Beta HCG (quantitative) test over a period of days or weeks to confirm whether the pregnancy is continuing
• Complete blood count (CBC) to determine amount of blood loss
• Pregnancy test to confirm pregnancy
• Progesterone level
• White blood count (WBC) with differential to rule out infection

Treatment

You may be told to avoid or restrict some forms of activity. Not having sexual intercourse is usually recommended until the warning signs have disappeared.
The use of progesterone is controversial. It might relax smooth muscles, including the muscles of the uterus. However, it also might increase the risk of an incomplete abortion or an abnormal pregnancy. Unless there is a luteal phase defect, progesterone should not be used.

Expectations (prognosis)

Many women with threatened miscarriage go on to have a normal pregnancy.

Complications

• Anemia
• Infection
• Miscarriage
• Moderate-to-heavy blood loss
