Threatened miscarriage refers to the situation where abdominal pain and bleeding occur during pregnancy due to instability of the gestational sac or fetus. Most threatened miscarriages occur in the early stages of pregnancy, hence, the likelihood of experiencing threatened miscarriages during the mid or late stages of pregnancy is relatively low. Most threatened miscarriages stabilize after the first three months of pregnancy, which is approximately 12 weeks. By this time, the fetus has moved from the pelvic cavity into the abdominal cavity, and the placenta has formed. With the support of the placenta, the fetus can grow more stably. In early pregnancy, the instability of the gestational sac makes it susceptible to external influences, which can easily lead to threatened or even spontaneous miscarriage.

Can you eat chili peppers with a threatened miscarriage?

When a threatened miscarriage occurs, pregnant women should not eat chili peppers. This is because chili peppers are spicy and stimulating foods, and consuming them can easily lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea, and reflexively cause uterine contractions, which may result in miscarriage. After a threatened miscarriage occurs, it is essential to pay attention to diet. It is recommended to eat light, easy-to-digest foods, such as thin porridge, soft noodles, or soft bread. Additionally, it is important to increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits. These supplements of vitamins and proteins can enhance the immune capacity of pregnant women and strengthen their resistance, which is also helpful for successful pregnancy maintenance.

What is the cause of nausea in threatened miscarriage?

Threatened miscarriage refers to signs of miscarriage during pregnancy, and some women with threatened miscarriage may experience nausea. This situation includes several reasons: First, threatened miscarriage is not the same as a natural miscarriage; women are still pregnant, hence early pregnancy reactions such as nausea are normal. If the nausea is mild, rest and observation are advisable. However, if severe, it is important to visit the hospital for an examination to rule out hyperemesis gravidarum. Second, some cases of threatened miscarriage are caused by gastrointestinal inflammation, such as acute gastritis causing uterine contractions, which then leads to threatened miscarriage. The nausea in these situations is due to acute gastritis, so the nausea is a symptom caused by the condition that leads to the threatened miscarriage, not a direct result of the threatened miscarriage itself.

Can a threatened miscarriage still preserve the pregnancy?

When threatened miscarriage occurs, attempts are generally made to carry out treatment to save the pregnancy. Whether the treatment can successfully save the pregnancy mainly depends on the severity of the symptoms, whether the treatment is timely, and the quality of the embryo itself. Firstly, if it is a mild threatened miscarriage, such as mild lower abdominal pain or light vaginal bleeding, in most cases, the pregnancy can be saved; if the symptoms are very severe, with heavy vaginal bleeding and intense abdominal pain, sometimes the pregnancy may not be saved. Secondly, when threatened miscarriage occurs, treatment should be selected based on the cause, including rest and medication. If the treatment is not timely, the pregnancy may not be saved. Thirdly, if the quality of the gestational sac is good, then even if a mild threatened miscarriage occurs, the pregnancy can often be saved; however, if the quality of the gestational sac is poor, then even with medication treatment, the pregnancy often cannot be saved.
