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? Experts say that people who are overly obese, have combined diabetes, suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome or abnormal thyroid function, have uterine malformations, are older than 35 years old, and have a history of multiple miscarriages are most likely to have a spontaneous miscarriage.
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, there are a lot of prescriptions online such as “lotus seeds, cinnamon and yam soup, and pumpkin tips and lotus ponti end for blood heat type of pre-eclampsia miscarriage”.
Diet and health care for pregnant women
The most important thing is to control the amount of consumption, to pay attention to dietary balance, variety, any food single excess is not good for health.
A. Eating crabs can lead to miscarriage for pregnant women
Discerning: It is possible to eat occasionally
The crab claw has the effect of activating blood circulation and decongesting the swelling, so pregnant women can eat it and have a better blood flow, which can easily cause fetal movement and thus miscarriage.

Second, eating hawthorn is prone to miscarriage
Identify the right: 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, and contraction of the uterus.
The experiment in which hawthorn caused contraction of the uterus in rabbits could not prove that hawthorn causes abortion. In this experiment, the hawthorn leachate was used as the injection solution, indicating a very high concentration, and we do not normally consume such a large amount of hawthorn leachate when we eat hawthorn, so this experiment is not very representative. However, in view of the fact that hawthorn leachate does cause uterine contractions in rabbits, it is still recommended that pregnant women eat hawthorn in moderation.
Three, nail polish during pregnancy can cause miscarriage
Identification: there is truth
Nail polish and other cosmetics often contain a substance called phthalate, which can easily cause miscarriages and births 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.
Because nail polish contains toxic and harmful substances, long-term use of nail polish is not good for the human body.
Therefore, it is not recommended for pregnant women to use nail polish during pregnancy, and it is also not recommended for cosmetics, hair dyes and other chemicals. 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.

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.

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 abortion 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.

VII. Polycystic ovary syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a symptom of endocrine disorder, a disorder of ovulation, which affects the secretion of serum prolactin and thyroid stimulating hormone when the pituitary gland is disrupted. The elevation of prolactin is often mild and the mild increase in prolactin leads to hyperprolactinemia and subclinical hypothyroidism due to abnormal thyroid hormone function can be a trigger for spontaneous abortion. Since polycystic ovary syndrome is not curable, patients with polycystic ovary syndrome who wish to become pregnant should be pre-treated before pregnancy in several ways.
