1. Pregnancy test

Soon after the fertilized egg implants, an increase in blood β-hCG can be detected in the subject. In clinical practice, early pregnancy test strips are often used to test the urine of the subject. A positive result combined with clinical manifestations can confirm pregnancy. False positives are rare.

2. Ultrasound examination

(1) Type B ultrasound examination: Vaginal ultrasound can diagnose early pregnancy one week earlier than abdominal ultrasound. Vaginal ultrasound can detect a round gestational sac in the uterine cavity as early as 4 to 5 weeks after menstruation. The presence of an embryo and primitive heart tube pulsation in the gestational sac 5 weeks after menstruation can confirm a live intrauterine pregnancy.

(2) Ultrasonic Doppler method: The ultrasonic Doppler device can hear fetal heartbeats in the uterine area and can confirm the presence of a live fetus in early pregnancy.

3. Cervical mucus examination

The cervical mucus is small in amount and thick. After the smear dries, rows of ellipses can be seen under the light microscope, which indicates a high possibility of early pregnancy.

4. Basal body temperature measurement

For women with biphasic body temperature, if the high temperature phase persists for 18 days without decreasing, there is a high possibility of early pregnancy.

If you experience paroxysmal lower abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, etc. in early pregnancy, these are generally signs of miscarriage. Many pregnant mothers will be torn between whether to preserve the fetus or let nature take its course.

If the above symptoms occur, pregnant mothers should go to the hospital in time and tell the doctor truthfully whether there were any inducing factors such as strenuous exercise, sexual intercourse, diarrhea, etc. before these symptoms appeared. If it is just due to fatigue, it generally has little impact on the fetus and you can choose to preserve the fetus. If it is caused by the body's own disease or radiation, the doctor will generally explain his views to the pregnant mother and father, and make a decision after consultation with the couple.

For pregnant women who show signs of habitual miscarriage and threatened miscarriage, doctors will recommend absolute bed rest or prescribe symptomatic medication depending on the specific situation. Pregnant women with luteal insufficiency can receive pregnancy preservation treatment through intramuscular injection or oral administration of progesterone or oral vitamin E. At present, the side effects of commonly used pregnancy-preserving drugs in clinical practice are relatively small. When used within safe doses, they have minimal adverse effects on pregnant mothers and fetuses, so there is no need to worry too much. However, pregnancy-preserving drugs should not be abused and must be used strictly in accordance with the doctor's instructions.
