My water broke and I saw blood again. What's going on?

For pregnant women who are giving birth for the first time, they will become more and more anxious as the due date approaches, and they don't know when the birth will occur. The general signs before delivery are a drop in the fundus of the uterus about two weeks before delivery. The pregnant mother will feel relaxation in the upper abdomen, and then she will continue to feel pressure in the lower abdomen, with frequent urination and urgency. In addition, there will be spotting, rupture of amniotic fluid, regular abdominal pain, eczema and other symptoms.

1. What is the reason for the amniotic fluid to break and the bleeding during pregnancy?

Breaking of water and spotting during pregnancy are signs of labor. During normal delivery, there is rupture of amniotic fluid, spotting, and regular uterine contractions. It is recommended to give birth in hospital. If you are not ready to submit and the condition is under control quickly, you can wait until you are pregnant again before going for prenatal treatment.

2. What is breaking the amniotic fluid?

1. When the fetus is in the uterine cavity, it is surrounded by a thin membrane called the fetal membrane, which contains a liquid called amniotic fluid. Rupture of water refers to the situation in which the amniotic membrane breaks and the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman is discharged. Normal labor begins with amniotic fluid rupture during the process of cervical dilation or when the cervix is ​​fully opened and the fetus enters the birth canal, so rupture of amniotic fluid is an important sign of labor.

2. If you feel pain in your lower body and ice is discharged from your vagina in the late stage of pregnancy and your due date has not yet arrived, it may be early rupture of amniotic fluid. You should go to the hospital for a physical examination and timely treatment to avoid bacterial infection or umbilical cord prolapse (the cord falls into the female vagina), because it may cause the death of the fetus.

3. What does it mean to see blood during pregnancy?

1. Within 24-48 hours before delivery, the cervix begins to move, causing the fetal membrane around the cervix to separate from the endometrium at that point. The capillaries rupture and a small amount of blood is discharged through the vagina and mixed with the mucus in the cervical canal and discharged. This strong mucus discharged from the vagina is the "bad spotting" of pregnancy. Seeing blood during pregnancy is usually a signal of labor.

2. The colors of pregnancy spotting may include dark brown, light pink, and bright red. The bleeding is significantly less than menstrual bleeding. It usually occurs 24 hours before the pain and is discharged as mixed mucus with a thick texture, but the specific situation varies from person to person.

3. If there is only a small amount of bleeding, the pregnant mother can stay at home for observation, and pay attention to not being too busy and avoid excessive exercise. However, if blood is discharged and the bleeding exceeds the menstrual period, or is accompanied by abdominal pain, you need to seek medical attention immediately.
