| | eMedicine - Missed Abortion : Article by James L Lindsey, MD |
 | | Surgical Care: Surgical evacuation is the standard of care in treating missed abortion, with suction curettage being the most common method. | | | Transvaginal ultrasonography criteria that strongly suggest missed abortion are the absence of cardiac activity in an embryo with a crown-rump length greater than 5 mm or absence of fetal pole when the mean sac diameter is greater than 18 mm. | | | The gestation is termed a missed abortion only if the diagnosis of incomplete abortion or inevitable abortion is excluded (ie, the cervical os is closed). |

| | The evacuation is managed as described for a missed abortion; in all cases, if prostaglandins have been used at the later gestational sizes, a postabortion uterine curettage should be performed to ensure that all pieces of placental tissue have been removed. | | | Spontaneous abortions are often quoted to occur in 10 per cent of recognized pregnancies and once 13 weeks' gestation has been reached the chance of spontaneous abortion occurring is 0.7 to 1.0 per cent. | | | By strict definition, abortion includes all pregnancies expelled up to the 28th week of gestation, but modern obstetric and gynaecological practice views threatened abortions at 24 weeks' gestation and later as labour, with the fetus having a chance of survival with intensive neonatal care. |

| | When it comes to problems associated with missed or incomplete abortion the dangers are hemorrhage and infection. | | | Since my choice to take herbs was directly related to a botched surgical abortion, I take the liberty of including that experience here. | | | Having been a longtime supporter of Choice, I went to an abortion clinic, expecting some version of what I remember reading in the original version of "Our Bodies, Our Selves". |

| | Empty Arms -- The Lonely Trauma of Miscarriage |
| | In patients with a blighted ovum, missed abortion, inevitable or incomplete abortion, the treatment is a uterine curettage (DandC) - a short surgical procedure which is performed to empty the uterus and remove the pregnant tissue. | | | The medical term for a miscarriage is an abortion. | | | Abortions which occur in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy are called first trimester abortions. |

| | What Every Pregnant Woman Needs to Know About Pregnancy Loss and Neonatal Death |
| | Even though pregnancy symptoms may disappear almost immediately, many women do not realize that they have experienced a missed abortion until a few weeks later in their pregnancytypically when a doppler or ultrasound fails to detect a fetal heartbeat. | | | Blighted ovum, an old-fashioned and medically inaccurate term, is a form of missed abortion that generally refers to the earliest pregnancies (that is, pregnancies in which a fetus is not yet evident at the time of diagnosis). | | | Your doctor may use the following terminology when describing your miscarriage (or "spontaneous abortion"the medical term for miscarriage): |

| | Evacuating an abortion |
| | A missed abortion is an intrauterine death during the first trimester or early in the second, after which the pregnancy is not expelled for at least another month. | | | A carneous mole is a continuation of a missed abortion, in which the dead fetus is surrounded by shells of organized blood clot. | | |
If she is more than 14 weeks, with an inevitable abortion (her cervix is open at least one finger, but the products of conception, especially the fetus, have not been expelled), assess and monitor her as above. |

| | :: Atlanta Perinatal Articles & Interviews :: |
| | With a suspected diagnosis of a missed abortion, or with a discrepancy in the uterine measurements at this early gestational age, an ultrasound is useful in assessing the viability of a pregnancy, as well as verifying the gestational age. | | | It is the presence of a dilated cervix that distinguishes an inevitable abortion from a threatened abortion. | | | An inevitable abortion is a diagnosis made by the observation of cervical dilation in the setting of vaginal bleeding. |

| | spontaneous abortion - definition of spontaneous abortion in Encyclopedia |
| | If some of the tissue remains after the fetus has died, this is called an "incomplete abortion", and if the fetus remains in the uterus, this is said to be a "missed abortion". | | | The medical term for it is "abortion"; when the abortion is not deliberately induced, it is termed a "spontaneous abortion," so that is a synonym for "miscarriage." Miscarriages can occur for many reasons, not all of which can be identified. | | | Several symptoms indicate that a woman is about to have an "inevitable abortion", which indicates that she has an absolute probability of miscarrying. |

| | Legislating Morality |
| | But what is so often missed in this debate is that pro-abortion activists want to impose their morals on others as well: they want to impose the morals of the mother on the baby and, in some cases, the father. | | | When abortion is chosen, the morals imposed on the baby come in the form of a knife, vacuum, or scalding chemical. | | | I didnt make up the fact that abortion is wrong, that murder is wrong, that stealing is wrong. |

| | Um...In case you missed the point, Mark was using this EXTREME scenario as an example to show the potential pitfalls of civil disobedience. | | | But for the Supreme Court, abortion policy would be somewhat more restrictive than it is today - not the liberal wet-dream of an utter ban, but not the current regime of abortion as a sacred right either. | | | I would also point out that recent court decisions involving the free speech/abortion issue have dramatically undercut speech rights of abortion opponents. |
