Abdominal Trauma During Pregnancy. Risk Of Miscarriage?
Question: A resident at an alheizemers facility kicked my lower abdomen x3 very hard. What is the risk that I will miscarry?
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The effect depends on your gestational age and the impact of the kick on your uterus and fetus.
Hard kick sometimes by disturbing the blood supply to the gestational sac can lead to death of the fetus and miscarriage.
Sometimes that can only present with little bit of spotting and pain, which can subside soon and pregnancy continues.
But you better consult gynecologist once, get examined and go for ultrasound, to find out the well being of the fetus and to rule out the possibility of the pregnancy.
Be careful in future.
