What causes inevitable abortion?
Inevitable abortion occurs when vaginal bleeding or rupture of membranes occur before 20 weeks gestation in the presence of cervical dilatation. Incomplete abortion typically occurs after 10 weeks gestation when the fetus is expelled and the placenta is retained in the uterus.
How long does a threatened miscarriage bleed last for?
A woman early in her pregnancy may have a miscarriage and only experience bleeding and cramping for a few hours. But another woman may have miscarriage bleeding for up to a week. The bleeding can be heavy with clots, but it slowly tapers off over days before stopping, usually within two weeks.
Does bed rest help threatened miscarriage?

How is inevitable abortion treated?
Inevitable and incomplete abortions are typically treated surgically with suction D&C. A septic abortion requires broad spectrum antibiotic therapy prior to a suction D&C, if possible without delaying the D&C.
How long does an inevitable miscarriage take?
