Frozen pregnancy: the main signs and symptoms

Pregnancy is the most magical time for every woman. Waiting for the birth of a small child causes excessive joy, new plans appear, and the life of married couples changes radically. But now, without the appearance of any precursors, at the next admission the doctor reports that the pregnancy has stopped, and your baby, before he was born, died ...

After severe depression and nervous stress, questions begin to come up - why did you have a dead pregnancy? How to prevent this? Why did this happen?

Many women who have a frozen pregnancy are called "frozen". This is not quite true. Intrauterine fetal death is called a frozen pregnancy.

Frozen pregnancy (frozen) is a sudden cessation of fetal development and subsequent death. Usually, this is most unobtrusively occurring in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Frozen pregnancy (frozen) quite often occurs in the first trimester of pregnancy. But, in fact, it can happen at any time, and even come a week before the expected delivery.

Scientists have identified the most dangerous weeks. Vulnerable are children at the time of 2-5 weeks, 7-11 weeks and 15-18 weeks.

Let's look at the signs of a frozen pregnancy in trimester.

If the first trimester has a frozen pregnancy, the symptoms will be as follows:

1. If you follow the basal temperature, then after the termination of embryo development, it decreases to 1 degree.
2. If the death of the embryo falls on the first 2 weeks from conception, then the month can come on time or with a slight delay. Moreover, they are accompanied by heavy bleeding. Prolonged menstruation is an occasion to visit a doctor.
3. Cessation of toxicosis is cause for concern. If your period is less than 10 weeks, you should contact your doctor.
4. With a stiff pregnancy, swelling and pain in the chest.
5. Lean or abundant pinkish discharge may indicate a spontaneous abortion or the termination of pregnancy.

In the second trimester of frozen pregnancy, the following symptoms are observed.

Term from 13 to 17 weeks:

1. The stomach stops growing.
2. Appear spotting.
3. The body temperature rises, because The death of the fetus over a long period causes the development of an intrauterine infection.

It is worth noting that it is impossible to recognize a frozen pregnancy on its own. That is why it is necessary to visit the doctor on a regular basis, since only after examining the gynecologist you will notice that the uterus has stopped "growing".

The term is more than 17 weeks.

1. The very first and obvious sign is the cessation of the perturbations. If you do not feel your baby for more than a day - this is an occasion to consult a doctor.
2. The tone of the uterus, the presence of excreta should serve as an excuse for an early visit to the gynecologist.

Causes of a Pregnant Pregnancy

Regardless of your term, a frozen pregnancy causes In itself is quite diverse.

1. Genetic or chromosomal abnormalities. They appear already at the 8th week of pregnancy and, in most cases, are incompatible with life. Genetic problems in the embryo arise from an incorrect combination of parental genes.
2. Hormonal disorders in the female body. The lack of progesterone promotes a stagnant pregnancy. The increase in male sex hormones (androgens) also leads to that phenomenon.
3. Infectious diseases. The development of infections can cause intrauterine infection. Irreversible effects are caused by the virus of rubella and cytomegalovirus. In addition, banal ARVI can negatively affect the fetus and provoke its death.
4. Incorrect lifestyle and regular stressful situations can cause premature detachment of the placenta and, accordingly, death of the fetus.

It is worth noting that in most cases, a frozen pregnancy (frozen) is the result of accidental and irreparable factors. Frozen pregnancy is one of the main ways of natural selection, which does not allow the birth of an incurable person. The semiannual interval will allow to restore the hormonal background for the subsequent pregnancy. During this time it is necessary to pass all the tests and perform the prescribed treatment by a gynecologist.
