Many women who have given birth prematurely believe that once their water breaks, vaginal bleeding occurs, or they feel discomfort in the uterus, it is time to give birth naturally, and they worry that the underweight fetus will not be able to adapt to the external environment. In fact, before term, if a pregnant woman has premature uterine contractions, vaginal bleeding, or premature water rupture, it is more likely to cause premature birth. All of the above are indications for anti-tocolytic drugs.
When a doctor diagnoses premature labor and recommends hospitalization for an induced abortion, the abortion measures given by medical staff are as follows:
1. Infusion of antifertility drugs
Tocolytics are administered intravenously to suppress early uterine contractions. Adjust the dose according to the degree of uterine contractions. This drug is likely to cause shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat in pregnant women. Indications can be alleviated.
2.Clinical examination
After admission, pregnant women will undergo routine blood and urine tests. In some cases, a vaginal bacterial culture, fetal lung maturity test, or amniotic fluid test will be performed to evaluate whether the fetus and mother are suitable for proceeding with the abortion. Adverse pregnancy risk factors can be identified for early symptomatic treatment.
3. Ultrasound evaluation
For pregnant women who have had abortions in the hospital, doctors will regularly use B-ultrasound to evaluate the growth of the fetus, whether the number of weeks is consistent with the weight, whether the amount of amniotic fluid is too much or too little, and the location and maturity of the placenta to understand the fetus. The growth conditions and growing environment are suitable.
4. Medication
Pregnant women often take stool softeners. Due to long-term bed rest, intestinal motility is reduced. Pregnant women need stool softeners to help them defecate smoothly to avoid discomfort caused by excessive force during defecation and uterine contractions. Additionally, pregnant women can take iron supplements to treat iron deficiency anemia. Antibiotics are given when infection is suspected. After 28 weeks, if the tocolysis treatment plan does not go well, the fetus may be born prematurely, and the doctor may recommend the use of fetal lung maturation agents.
For pregnant women who have been hospitalized for abortion, if they can maintain a stable mood, eat normally, and get enough sleep, it will undoubtedly be a great help from the perspective of the entire medical plan. Therefore, pregnant women who need to be hospitalized for abortion, please do not worry too much about the current situation. You can discuss the doubts encountered during the abortion process with medical staff and participate in the abortion treatment process together, so that mothers and babies can receive the most complete medical services.
