Navigating Threatened Miscarriage: Insights Into Maternal and Fetal Health Outcomes

Abstract

Introduction: It emphasizes the unexpected miscarriage rate, signaling a critical concern for maternal and fetal health. The introduction also highlights the potential complications associated with threatened miscarriage and hints at the role of oxidative stress within the placenta.

Material and Methods: The methodology section outlines the study's design, conducted at SGT Hospital, focusing on a prospective longitudinal approach. 100 pregnant women presented with vaginal bleeding in the first trimester were studied.

Results and Discussion: It begins by detailing the characteristics of the study population, focusing on significant differences observed in gravidity, and the number of previous miscarriages. Obstetric outcomes, mode of delivery, and neonatal parameters are comprehensively discussed. The unexpectedly high miscarriage rate is addressed, and the diverse complications associated with threatened miscarriage are explored. The section also delves into the effectiveness of treatment strategies, highlighting the positive impact of bed rest in preventing pregnancy loss and the limited efficacy of prophylactic antibiotics.

Conclusion: The study, emphasizing the resilience of pregnancies initially categorized as threatened abortions. It reiterates the challenges and positive outcomes identified, underscoring the need for personalized antenatal care. The higher-than-expected miscarriage rate prompts further reflection on managing threatened miscarriages. The conclusion highlights the study's contribution to understanding both maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies marked by early bleeding and advocates for enhanced clinical management strategies.
