Suggest Treatment For Occasional Pressure And Pain During A Miscarriage

Hi I am 35 yrs old and i have just found out i am six weeks pregnant...i became pregnant while on birth control so ut was a complete surprise to me. I went to the ER because I was bleeding heavy and they gave me blood and urine tests and that is how i found out i am pregnant. I was then given an ultrasound and i was told that the fetus showed no activity and i will miscarry. I have not miscarried yet and the bleeding stopped but i have occasional pain and pressure and have also felt generally ill and having some pain in my left arm and difficulty breathing at times. Why havent i miscarried if the fetus died and can it cause more serious problems for me?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Miscarriage is a process where the uterus gets contractions ,to open up the mouth of uterus & the uterine contents are squeezed out with contractions.The lady undergoing abortion does have to tolerate pain through out the process.
The time taken for complete abortion depends on the severity & frequency of uterine contractions. Spontaneous abortion can take as long as 1-5 days for the process to complete.
You have contractions,bleeding has stopped- & have not expelled fetus out.The symptoms you have are partly due to abortion process itself& partly due to psychological tension.
* please don't worry, abortion is mostly a safe/process when under an experts care.
consult a gynecologist- after examining you ,you will be subjected to certain pathological tests like CBC, Blood group& rh typing, USG abdomen (if needful) to assess the stage of abortion& your health status.
- following this suitable treatment is given to complete the process ( antibiotics,Injections for completing abortion IM/IV/ MTP evacuation may be needed in few cases.
Everything is very safe- please don't worry.
Thanks.
