Empty or pregnant blighted ovum is a condition when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus, but does not develop into an embryo (the embryo fails to develop). In some cases, the formed embryo stops growing and is reabsorbed by the mother's body. What are the signs of an empty pregnancy? The following is the full explanation.
Signs of pregnancy are empty
Quoting from American Pregnancy, empty pregnancy can occur early in pregnancy before you realize you are pregnant.
At the beginning of the week of pregnancy, women who experience an empty pregnancy will feel the same signs as a normal pregnancy. Some of these signs, namely:
1. Late menstruation
Menstruation is a condition that occurs when a mature egg (ovum) does not fertilize in the uterus. Then it is wasted with the blood that comes out of the vagina.
When you are pregnant, either empty or normal, you will automatically not menstruate because the ovum does not shed due to the development of sperm in the uterus to become a fetus.
However, in an empty pregnant woman, the development is only until the formation of the placenta, there is no embryo.
2. Nausea and vomiting
In the process of forming the fetal sac in the uterus, the body will experience changes that have an impact on the condition of pregnant women, one of which is nausea and vomiting.
Nausea and vomiting in the morning or morning sickness is one of the most common signs experienced by pregnant women. This is also felt by mothers who are experiencing an empty pregnancy.
The reason is, the placenta can continue to grow and support itself without the presence of the baby for a short time.
3. Positive pregnancy test result
The signs of an empty pregnancy are the same as a normal pregnancy, that is, a positive pregnancy test result. How could this happen?
Quoting from the Mayo Clinic, this happens because at the beginning of the formation of the sac (placenta) and the embryo secretes the pregnancy hormone (hCG).
Even though the embryo is not formed, the hCG hormone still reads positive because of the presence of the placenta in the uterus.
4. Breasts are more sensitive
This is not only a sign of a healthy pregnancy, but also an empty pregnancy (blighted ovum). During pregnancy, the body prepares itself to support fetal development and preparation for breastfeeding.
Then it causes the hormones estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin to stimulate the mammary glands in preparation for breastfeeding.
5. Stomach cramps
This condition is a sign of several things, one of which is when the miscarriage is due to an empty pregnancy. Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish stomach cramps as a sign of a miscarriage, implantation, or a developing uterus.
However, the most visible difference is that the abdominal cramps as a feature of an empty pregnancy will last for several days accompanied by light bleeding.
Apart from feeling stomach cramps, you may also feel pain in the back or pressure in the pelvis.
6. Out of blood stains
Spotting during pregnancy is normal and normal. However, in women with empty pregnancy, spots often coincide with stomach cramps, which are signs that the womb is not well.
Quoting from Emedicinehealth, these spots often coincide with bleeding with a large volume of blood, accompanied by clots of flesh.
An ultrasound examination will show that the uterus has failed to develop properly in the uterus.
7. Heavier menstruation
After the spotting and bleeding, you will experience menstruation that is heavier than usual.
This condition is caused by the shedding of the placenta that has been implanted in the uterus, so it hurts and is very disturbing because a lot of blood comes out.
8. Breast pain disappears
During early pregnancy, you may experience breast tenderness or feel more sensitive. However, when you are empty pregnant, these signs disappear as the embryo does not develop in the uterus.
Even though the embryo is not developing, the mother with an empty pregnant condition can still feel this because the body detects the development of the placenta.
The signs of an empty pregnant woman are the same as normal pregnancy. But slowly, these signs will disappear after you have a miscarriage.
An empty pregnant state will cause a miscarriage because the body stops the fetal growth process because the embryo is no longer developing.
In some cases, a procedure called dilation and curettage (curettage) is performed to remove the placental tissue.
Some women choose to wait for a miscarriage to occur naturally, while others take medication to trigger a miscarriage.
Most women who have had an empty pregnancy can still get pregnant normally at a later date.
If you have multiple miscarriages, contact your doctor to find the underlying cause.
Some of the other symptoms or signs may not be listed above. If you are worried about your symptoms, consult a doctor immediately.
