Preventing Miscarriage: Precautions and Recommendations for Pregnant Women

December 21, 2023

1. When pregnant again, heavy physical labor should be avoided, especially holding breath, lifting heavy objects, and straining during bowel movements, to prevent an increase in intraabdominal pressure and the risk of miscarriage. Avoid excessive warmth and tonics. In early pregnancy, avoid exposure to X-rays, ultrasonic waves, and radioactive isotopes to prevent fetal malformations and miscarriages.

2. Habitual miscarriage can be caused by factors such as endocrine disorders, immune system abnormalities, genetic factors, maternal infections, maternal-fetal blood type incompatibility, and abnormal semen quality in the male partner. It is recommended to undergo screening at the hospital to identify the cause and take appropriate treatment measures. For cases of habitual miscarriage with unknown causes, it is suggested to take traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning in advance.

3. If pregnancy is detected, it is important to seek medical advice in a timely manner. The doctor will usually prescribe appropriate measures to prevent miscarriage based on the patient's blood human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) levels. This may include oral or injectable progesterone, chorionic gonadotropin, etc. For patients who have been taking traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning before pregnancy, it is recommended to continue taking the medicine to prevent miscarriage until the same month of the previous miscarriage.

4. Pregnant women should try to avoid going to areas with epidemics of influenza, typhoid fever, pneumonia, etc. They should also avoid crowded public places to reduce the risk of infection. Smoking, active or passive, should be avoided. Avoid contact with pets and inhalation of toxic gases.
