What to do when there are signs of threatened miscarriage?

Threatened miscarriage is a condition in which the fetus is still alive in the uterus but the pregnant woman has abdominal pain and bleeding. Threatened miscarriage usually occurs in the first months of pregnancy because at this time, the fertilized egg has not yet fully attached to the uterine wall, so it is easy to be shed.
There are many different causes of threatened miscarriage, here are some common causes of this condition:
Pregnant women are too old (usually over 35 years old) or have some underlying medical conditions during pregnancy pregnancy such as diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease... Women who have had multiple abortions or use many birth control pills make the uterine lining thinner, making it difficult to hold the fertilized egg and increase risk of miscarriage. Pregnant women have to work hard and hard during pregnancy with inadequate nutrition, leading to weak fetal development, increased risk of miscarriage. Touching the pregnant belly due to traffic accidents, accidents in daily life and work also has the risk of miscarriage.
