  • dragging pain in the abdomen and lower back,
  • bloody issues,
  • increase in temperature more than 37, 5 ° C.

Pregnancy all proceeds differently. We should start to worry if in severe toxicosis he suddenly passes.

  • Stop the growth of the embryo or blighted ovum - also show only ultrasound;
  • Inconsistency size of the uterus expected term of pregnancy - is only possible when gynecological examination;
