Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a threatened miscarriage, an outcome for care would be that all bleeding would spontaneously stop within 24 to 48 hours. Bed rest is not recommended for a threatened miscarriage because blood will pool in the vagina. Vaginal bleeding that saturates a perineal pad in 1 hour is an emergency and could indicate an incomplete or complete miscarriage. Normal coitus should be withheld for 2 weeks after a threatened miscarriage.
