A threatened abortion, also known as a threatened miscarriage, refers to vaginal bleeding that occurs during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. This bleeding is often accompanied by abdominal cramps or lower back pain. The term “threatened” is used because these symptoms indicate that a miscarriage is possible, but not certain. Many pregnancies with these symptoms continue to term without further complications.
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
