There's some blood down there when I'm due

Many pregnant women become very anxious and restless as they get closer to their due date, which can easily lead to bleeding, making them feel very helpless. But in any case, if a pregnant woman has bleeding from her lower body, she should be sent to the hospital for a physical examination immediately. However, many people want to know, is a little blood in the vagina a sign of imminent birth?

If a pregnant woman reaches her due date and has bleeding in her lower body, it is very likely that she is about to give birth. Generally, pregnant women bleed before delivery, and the amount of bleeding will be less than that before delivery, and they will have abdominal pain before bleeding. However, if a pregnant woman bleeds after her due date, it is called "bloody show during pregnancy" and is a condition before the pregnant woman is about to give birth. Family members should pay attention to the bleeding of pregnant women, and see if the bleeding of pregnant women is heavier than their menstrual volume and the blood is thinner. This kind of bleeding may be caused by other reasons and is not a manifestation before delivery.

If the amount of bleeding in a pregnant woman is similar to or even exceeds the amount of menstrual blood, and the blood is red, and the pregnant woman also has symptoms such as abdominal pain, then this may be bleeding caused by placental detachment in the pregnant woman's uterus. This situation needs to be treated in the hospital immediately, otherwise it will endanger the safety of the fetus.

If a pregnant woman has vaginal bleeding several times after her due date, it may be caused by placenta previa, which is a very serious condition during pregnancy. If not handled promptly, it will threaten the lives of pregnant women and their fetuses. Therefore, if a pregnant woman bleeds after her due date, no matter what the situation is, she needs to pay great attention to it and go to the hospital immediately for blood circulation treatment.

How long will the bleeding last when the due date comes?

First of all, if the pregnant woman's due date has arrived and she has experienced spotting during pregnancy, then this is a sign of impending delivery, and delivery may usually occur in 24 to 48 hours. At this time, pregnant women must pay attention and go to the hospital immediately for delivery to avoid unexpected situations.

Secondly, pregnant women will experience spotting during the delivery period. This is because the secretions accumulated in the uterus during pregnancy will be discharged after the cervix opens, which will cause spotting during pregnancy. When the cervix opens, it means that the pregnant woman is about to give birth. When the due date is approaching, many women may feel abdominal pain. At this time, it does not necessarily mean that they are about to give birth. It may be latent uterine contraction, and it will take some time before delivery.

In addition, if a woman's amniotic fluid breaks during her delivery period, then at this time, she is about to give birth. If the delivery is not carried out in time, excessive loss of amniotic fluid may affect the fetus and cause difficulty in breathing. It is necessary to deliver the baby by cesarean section in time.
