Be careful of vaginal bleeding
Vaginal bleeding at any time during pregnancy can be a red flag. Vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy may be a sign of ectopic pregnancy or threatened miscarriage, although some women later become pregnant successfully. If vaginal bleeding is accompanied by abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital for examination.
Vaginal bleeding after 20 weeks may be a sign of placenta previa or placenta detaching from the uterus. Both conditions are life-threatening to the mother and fetus, and you should go to the hospital immediately.
During pregnancy, the surface cells of the cervix often change and cause bleeding, especially after sex. This type of bleeding is cervical bleeding. Vaginal inflammation may also cause mild vaginal bleeding.
Some vaginal bleeding can cause serious consequences, so it is necessary to find the cause of bleeding in time. Vaginal bleeding in the third trimester of pregnancy is accompanied by a small amount of discharge, which is mostly a sign of labor and is called red blood. It is because the mature lower uterine segment and cervix in late pregnancy cannot withstand the pressure in the uterine cavity and are forced to expand, causing the fetal membranes attached to the internal os of the cervix to shrink. There, separated from the uterine wall, the capillaries rupture and there is a small amount of bleeding. This is the beginning of labor. A relatively reliable sign.
