One of the first signs in this period may be a discrepancy between the size of the uterus and the standards. So, it can be, how greatly increased, and reduced. This can only be seen by a gynecologist.
In addition, nausea may appear, as well as sensitivity to odors. But this also applies to toxicosis. It's another matter if these symptoms abruptly disappear. Most likely, in this case it is a question of the frozen pregnancy.
If the period is long, an unpleasant phenomenon is accompanied by engorgement of the mammary glands. There is also a large amount of excreta. Then there are cramping pains in the lower abdomen. Then there are discharges from the genital tract, which are similar to the monthly ones.
When the first symptoms appear, you should immediately seek help from your doctor. Because a frozen pregnancy is not a joke at all, it must be discovered immediately.

So, a low temperature indicates the presence of a frozen pregnancy. But it is not worth to rely only on this criterion. Because not always the temperature indicates the presence of a directly frozen pregnancy, which must be eliminated in a short time.
But in general, this indicator is the main one. As for body temperature, it should not exceed 37 degrees. In most cases, this indicates the presence of a hormonal malfunction or an inflammatory process. Whatever it was, it is necessary to seek the help of a doctor in charge. Pull with the solution of this issue is not worth it. The temperature does not always indicate a serious problem, but it is not worth excluding it either. Frozen pregnancy is a complex process.

Discharge with a stiffened pregnancy is a completely normal process. More precisely, on this basis it can be determined that something is wrong. What are the usual secretions?
Basically it is reddish discharge, which in appearance is very similar to the monthly ones. During pregnancy, this should not be. If there is such a phenomenon, then most likely we are talking about serious problems. In addition, the discharge is often accompanied by severe cramping pains. Sometimes they are very sharp and capable of giving back.
When identifying such signs, you should consult a doctor. Frozen pregnancy is a serious pathology. If you do not diagnose it on time, then all of this can happen again in the future.
If the allocation is not reddish, but faded, then this is quite normal, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. Moreover, not always the red discharge indicates the presence of a frozen pregnancy. In fact, there can be many reasons for this. But it's important to get medical advice.
Toxicosis with a stiff pregnancy
Whether there is a toxicosis at the stopped pregnancy? In this case, everything is exactly the same, but vice versa. So, in the early stages of normal pregnancy may manifest itself toxicosis.
How does a woman feel when she is pregnant? The fact is that it becomes much easier. So, if a woman was tormented by a strong toxicosis and suddenly he disappeared, then it's worth pondering. Most likely, it is a frozen pregnancy.
During the toxicosis, a woman does not tolerate some smells, it makes her sick and generally has a weakness. With a frozen pregnancy, all this suddenly disappears. Many women are not able to understand what is happening to them. This can aggravate the situation. Therefore, with a sharp relief, you need to contact your doctor. Of course, if it's not about the end of the toxemia itself.

Pain with a stiffened pregnancy
Are there pains with a stiffened pregnancy? Naturally, with any deviation there are painful sensations. So, with a frozen pregnancy, they have a special character.
Often this cramping pain. And it begins in the lower abdomen and gradually passes or does not give in the lower back. It should be noted that any pain during pregnancy carries a danger. In addition to cramping, sharp pain can be observed. They are also located in the lower abdomen, and give back.
If you notice any unpleasant symptoms, you should immediately seek help from a doctor. Because apart from frozen pregnancy, this can be other problems. In any case, pain is a negative sign.
If the pains appeared in the early term, then this may indicate the fixation of the zygote on the wall of the uterus. Therefore, this does not always indicate the presence of any pathology. But, despite this, the doctor's consultation is mandatory.
Breast with a stiff pregnancy
Breast with a stiffened pregnancy becomes somewhat different. If during pregnancy it is sensitive, but in this case everything is slightly different.
So, if in the woman's body unfavorable changes occur, but this is reflected by external signs. Frozen pregnancy completely removes all the normal sensations that should be. This applies to the woman's breasts. So, she becomes rude. In addition, the discharge is manifested to a greater extent.
If a woman feels uncomfortable in the chest and does not at all resemble heightened sensitivity, then one should pay attention to another important feature. So, during the frozen pregnancy there are discharges, but they are very intense.
On these two grounds, it is easy to diagnose irreparable changes in a woman's body. Therefore, if you find any rudeness and excessive discharge, you should consult your doctor. Such signs can appear both at early and late dates.

Uterus with a stiff pregnancy
Uterus with a stiff pregnancy also behaves in a special way. The fact is that it's very simple to notice the changes in the breast yourself. When it comes to the uterus, it is difficult to feel anything. In this case, only the attending physician can determine any changes.
So what happens to the uterus? There are certain standards, so to speak, dimensions that are normal. When a woman has a frozen pregnancy, the uterus may vary in size in different ways. And be as too small, and too big.
To feel this is difficult, because no special pain is observed. A woman who has a risk of a stiff pregnancy should be under constant medical supervision. Only he is able to notice any changes in the uterus.
Frozen pregnancy is a complex pathological process. It can occur both in women suffering from certain diseases, and simply because of not diligent care of themselves during the period of bearing the baby.
Nausea with a stiff pregnancy
Nausea with a dead pregnancy, as a rule, does not particularly manifest itself. On the contrary, one must pay attention to the presence of this sign. The fact is that during a stiff pregnancy, the woman's body undergoes a kind of change.
So, if toxicosis was previously observed, then it can disappear dramatically. To be glad of this phenomenon it is not necessary, most likely, in an organism something occurs or happens. Naturally, some women can do so, but still, it is necessary to pay special attention to this.
Toxicosis in early terms is the norm, sometimes it appears at a later time. But if it disappears spontaneously, nothing good promises it. Against the background of disappeared nausea, there may be pain in the lumbar region and in the lower abdomen. To pay attention to these signs is simply necessary.
Frozen pregnancy is a serious pathology that requires immediate resolution. Because in the future there can be more serious problems and against this background the inability to have children.
On later terms, you need to pay attention to the movements of the baby. So, the child in the period from 9 am to 9 pm should "push" at least 10 times. If there are no stirs at all, then this can mean a frozen pregnancy. In this case, there may be sharp pains in the lower abdomen, giving in the back. All these signs indicate that, most likely, there is a dead pregnancy.
