What to do if you have spotting during 2 months of pregnancy

For many pregnant women, the early stages of pregnancy are a very important period. Sometimes due to our momentary negligence, symptoms such as miscarriage will occur. However, many women are always cautious in the early stages of pregnancy. However, many women will have symptoms such as spotting when they are two months pregnant. However, for inexperienced women, they are particularly worried, fearing that it will cause threatened miscarriage. Let's learn about what to do if you see spotting when you are two months pregnant.

What to do if you have spotting during 2 months of pregnancy

If you have spotting during the second month of pregnancy, you must seek prompt diagnosis, because there are many reasons for spotting in early pregnancy. Spotting during the second month of pregnancy may be caused by the following reasons:

1. Miscarriage

There are many reasons for miscarriage, the main one being genetic defects that prevent the embryo from developing normally. Excessive exposure to harmful chemicals during pregnancy, such as arsenic, benzene, formaldehyde, ethylene oxide, etc., can cause miscarriage. Maternal systemic diseases, reproductive organ malformations or tumors, endocrine disorders, etc. can also lead to miscarriage. The main symptoms of miscarriage are vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain in early pregnancy. Generally, during the threatened abortion stage, vaginal bleeding is less and abdominal pain is mild. If there is no abnormality in the fetal development, the bleeding will stop after pregnancy preservation treatment and the pregnancy can continue. If the amount of bleeding is more than menstruation and is accompanied by severe abdominal pain, the possibility of miscarriage will increase. It is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. Ectopic pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy is also called an ectopic pregnancy. It means that the fertilized egg fails to enter the uterus normally, and implants in other locations of the uterine cavity, most commonly the fallopian tube, uterine cornu, abdominal cavity or ovary. In layman's terms, it means that the fertilized egg stays and grows outside the uterus. The walls of these areas are thin and narrow. When the fertilized egg grows bigger, it will pass through the wall tube, destroy the blood vessels and cause heavy bleeding.

When an ectopic pregnancy occurs, vaginal bleeding usually occurs more than one month after the menstruation has ceased, often accompanied by dull pain, bloating, and heaviness in the lower abdomen. At this time, a urine HCG pregnancy test may be positive, but an ultrasound examination will not reveal the embryonic sac of pregnancy in the uterine cavity, and abnormal tumors can often be found in the fallopian tube. When it grows to a certain size, the tissue around the implantation will be damaged and cause bleeding. If the ectopic pregnancy has ruptured, tearing pain may occur in one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, it may endanger the life of the pregnant woman.

3. Hydatidiform mole

Hydatidiform mole is a type of malformed pregnancy. In the early stages of embryonic development, the trophoblastic cells of the pregnant woman's placenta proliferate abnormally and transform into clusters of connected blisters, which look a bit like grapes in appearance, so it is called hydatidiform mole. Vaginal bleeding in hydatidiform mole occurs later than in miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy, usually around three months. The amount of bleeding starts out small, then gradually increases, and even can lead to repeated heavy bleeding, at which time blister-like tissue can be seen in the blood. The uterus of a patient with hydatidiform mole generally grows faster than the corresponding pregnancy time. If such abnormal conditions occur after pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

What should you pay attention to during early pregnancy?

1. Don’t do strenuous exercise

During pregnancy, pregnant mothers need to maintain proper exercise. However, in the early stages of pregnancy, the development of the fetus is unstable and the mother's physical condition is also unstable. At this time, the mother should not engage in strenuous exercise to avoid miscarriage.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene

For women who have just become pregnant, due to changes in their bodies and increased demand for nutrition, their metabolism will be very fast and their vaginal secretions will increase, making them vulnerable to bacterial invasion. Therefore, after entering the pregnancy period, pregnant mothers should pay special attention to their own hygiene, take a bath frequently, and change underwear frequently.

3. Dress appropriately

In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant mothers should wear soft and loose clothing, avoid wearing a waist corset, tight pants, or high heels. Otherwise, miscarriage may easily occur. Moreover, high heels can cause leg fatigue in pregnant mothers, which is not good for their health.

4. Do a good job of inspection

If bleeding occurs in early pregnancy, it may be due to a variety of reasons such as ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and fatigue. These are all things that you should not be careless about. You should go to the hospital for a check-up immediately. If a pregnant mother experiences bleeding or other miscarriage symptoms in the early stages of her pregnancy, after going to the hospital for examination to rule out ectopic pregnancy, she should follow the doctor's instructions and do a good job of protecting the fetus.

5. Get enough rest

It is very important for pregnant mothers to rest. They should maintain 8-10 hours of sleep every day and not let themselves be tired. At the same time, pregnant mothers should stay away from radiation and avoid watching TV, playing computer games, or making phone calls for long periods of time.

The above is an introduction to what to do if you see spotting in the second month of pregnancy. After understanding it, we know that we must pay great attention to spotting in the early stages of pregnancy. If accompanied by abdominal pain, we must seek medical attention immediately. In addition, in order to avoid such things, women must avoid strenuous exercise in the early stages of pregnancy, must rest in bed more, and have regular prenatal examinations during pregnancy. Do not take medication blindly when you feel unwell, and must use medication under the guidance of a doctor.
