IMMINENT (INEVITABLE)ABORTIONWith cervical dilation, the loss of the products of conception cannot behalted. If no fetal heart sounds are detected and an ultrasound reveals anempty uterus or nonviable fetus, a physician may perform a vacuum extraction(dilation and evacuation [D&E]) to ensure that all the products of conceptionare removed.

THREATENED ABORTION
A threatened abortion is vaginal bleeding during pregnancy that does not meet
diagnostic criteria for spontaneous abortion. In a threatened abortion, the
cervical is remains closed. A threatened abortion can present during early
pregnancy with lower abdominal pain, and/or vaginal bleeding.
If the spotting with threatened miscarriage is going to stop, it usually does so
within 24 to 48 hours after a woman reduces her activity.
As many as 50% of women with a threatened miscarriage continue the pregnancy; for
the other 50%, unfortunately, the threatened miscarriage changes to imminent or
inevitable miscarriage.
