Spontaneous abortion is a difficult hurdle for some people to overcome, and advanced age is a risk factor. Many families in the era of two children intend to have another child even if the mother is over 35 years old, which increases the risk of this uncertainty. Who is prone to spontaneous miscarriage? What are the chances of miscarriage in an advanced age? Patients who are overly obese, have combined diabetes, suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome, or abnormal thyroid function, patients with uterine malformations, pregnant women older than 35 years old, and those with a history of multiple miscarriages are most likely to have spontaneous miscarriages.
Chinese people are very particular about eating, and some pregnant women have a craving for sweet and sour snacks during pregnancy. “The crab will cause the fetus to move and easily miscarry. In order to prevent miscarriage, “lotus seeds and cinnamon yam soup, pumpkin tips and lotus ponti end treatment of blood heat type of pre-eclampsia miscarriage” and other prescriptions are also available online.
The most important thing is to control the amount of food consumed, to pay attention to dietary balance, variety, any food single excess is not good for health.
I. Seeking the truth
Saying: Eating crabs can lead to miscarriage for pregnant women
Discerning: It is okay to eat occasionally
Crab claws have the effect of activating blood circulation and decongesting swellings, and pregnant women eat them for better blood flow, which can easily cause fetal movement and thus miscarriage.
Comment: From the Chinese medicine, crab is a cold thing, barley has the effect of water percolation damp, pregnant women are cautious to eat, but not that eating it will cause miscarriage, there is no clear scientific basis, as long as a reasonable mix, healthy diet, not overeating, not long-term single consumption, occasionally a small amount to eat once, it is possible. Here instead to remind: pregnant women should not take a big tonic, because it can easily lead to hemorrhage, but also do not recommend pregnant women to eat randomly bought online supplements, health products, etc., because there is no qualification guarantee, not very safe.
Saying: Eating hawthorn is prone to miscarriage
Identification: too exaggerated
Hawthorn is sour and sweet, slightly warm in nature, and has the function of eliminating food stagnation, dispersing bruises and blood, killing worms, and strengthening the stomach and eliminating gangrene. Modern pharmacological research shows that hawthorn extracted by ethanol (alcohol) for intravenous injection, experiments on rabbits, has a slow and lasting hypotensive effect, as well as the contraction of the uterus.
Comment: The experiment in which hawthorn caused contraction of the uterus in rabbits does not prove that hawthorn causes abortion. In this experiment, the hawthorn leachate was used as the injection, which means that the concentration is very high, and we usually do not consume such a large amount of hawthorn leachate when we eat hawthorn, so this experiment is not very representative. However, given that hawthorn leachate does cause uterine contractions in rabbits, it is still recommended that pregnant women eat hawthorn in moderation.
Say: Nail polish during pregnancy can cause miscarriage
Correction: There is truth in it
Nail polish and other cosmetics often contain a substance called phthalate, which can easily cause miscarriage and birth of deformed babies to mothers-to-be. So women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid using cosmetics marked with the word “phthalate” to prevent miscarriage or baby deformities.
Comment: Because nail polish contains toxic and harmful substances, long-term use of nail polish is not good for the human body, so it is not recommended that pregnant women use nail polish during pregnancy, cosmetics, hair dyes and other chemicals are also not recommended to use. You can use natural skin care products instead of cosmetics, which are less stimulating to pregnant women and beneficial to the health of the fetus.

Warm tips
1, the first three months of pregnancy and the last two months forbidden intercourse
In recent decades of scientific research, there is no strong evidence that intercourse during pregnancy can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes, but the first and last two months of pregnancy is required to prohibit intercourse, and between March and June of pregnancy, ready to have intercourse, but need to be restrained, choose the appropriate position, while intercourse should wear condoms to avoid direct discharge of semen into the vagina, because the semen contains a large number of prostaglandins, will This is because semen contains a lot of prostaglandins that can soften the cervix and induce contractions. If there is an ovarian cyst during pregnancy, having sex may cause the cyst to move or necrosis, which may cause the placenta to be in a low position, leading to bleeding and miscarriage.
2, the newly renovated house placed six months before moving in
Now many young people are married, moving to a new house, pregnant with a child, and a new house immediately after renovation to move in, and the smell of formaldehyde and some other chemicals have not yet completely dissipated, is very easy to cause spontaneous abortion. Therefore, for pregnant women, it is best to place the newly renovated house ventilation for at least six months, and then move in to live will be more appropriate.
3, young patients can only get pregnant within six months after miscarriage
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the physical condition after a natural miscarriage is similar to that after a child is born, both in terms of diet and health care, but it does not need to be as strict as sitting on the moon. In terms of diet, after the vaginal bleeding stops, you can take appropriate supplements, such as American ginseng and black chicken soup, five-finger peach and pork ribs soup, dendrobium and red dates and wolfberry chicken soup, aconite cake, etc. Avoid eating foods that are too cold, such as bitter melon, mung beans, watermelon, turtle paste, etc. Avoid cold water bathing, premature and frequent intercourse, and rough and heavy work. It is recommended that young patients contraception after abortion for three months to six months after the body conditioning before pregnancy.
4, continuous spontaneous abortion couples should be a comprehensive medical examination
Natural miscarriage occurs 3 or more times in a row, called “recurrent miscarriage” (habitual miscarriage), recurrent miscarriage often occurs in the same pregnancy month, and the miscarriage process is generally no different from ordinary miscarriage. Early recurrent miscarriages are often caused by maternal luteal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, and chromosomal abnormalities of the embryo. The most common causes of late recurrent miscarriage are endocervical relaxation, uterine malformation, and uterine fibroids. There are many factors that lead to recurrent miscarriage. In general, contraception should be used within six months after the occurrence of miscarriage to reduce the occurrence of recurrent miscarriage. During this period, the couple should undergo a comprehensive physical examination especially genetic chromosomal examination. The medical examination for couples with recurrent spontaneous miscarriage should include: male partner: sperm routine, blood group, chromosome, etc.; female partner: egg cell smear, cervical score, basal body temperature, blood group, chromosome, ultrasound to check the development of the uterus, etc.
