What are the symptoms of premature delivery during pregnancy?

Giving birth early during pregnancy is actually premature birth, which is also a relatively common situation. When premature birth occurs, it may have adverse effects on the health of the baby. Therefore, mothers in the late stages of pregnancy must be careful. It may cause vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. Severe vomiting may make pregnant mothers unable to eat. At this time, you should be alert and go to the hospital for examination in time.

The main symptoms of premature birth are as follows:

1. Vaginal bleeding. In cases of miscarriage within 3 months of pregnancy, the chorion and decidua separate at the beginning, the blood sinuses open, and bleeding begins. When all the embryos are detached and expelled, the uterus contracts strongly, the blood sinuses close, and the bleeding stops. Therefore, the whole process of early abortion is accompanied by vaginal bleeding. In late miscarriage, the placenta has already formed, and miscarriage is similar to premature and full-term births, and there is generally not much bleeding.

2. Abdominal pain. After the bleeding starts in early miscarriage, there is blood, especially blood clots, in the uterine cavity, which stimulates uterine contraction and causes persistent lower abdominal pain. In late miscarriage, there are paroxysmal uterine contractions first, followed by placental detachment, so there is abdominal pain before vaginal bleeding, which is also a symptom of threatened premature labor. Abdominal pain and bleeding are mostly progressive and are related to their clinical course and progress.

3. Severe vomiting and inability to eat are also symptoms of threatened premature birth and you should go to the hospital for treatment, because severe vomiting during pregnancy can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, and in severe cases, it can endanger the life of the pregnant woman.

If a pregnant woman has the above symptoms, the first thing to consider is whether premature birth has occurred. The pregnant woman should be sent to the hospital for examination in time and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment under the doctor's guidance.

What can you eat more for premature birth?

You can blanch the spinach in boiling water and most of the oxalic acid will be destroyed.
