Brown blood at 38 days of pregnancy

What should I do if I have light brown discharge at 38 days of pregnancy? Many women often encounter such problems in early pregnancy. If a woman bleeds during pregnancy, she needs to be very careful as it may be a threatened miscarriage.

What to do if you have light brown bleeding in early pregnancy

Good health and some dietary adjustments must be carried out. If any symptoms occur in the daily life of early pregnancy, they must be promptly checked according to the amount of bleeding, and then blood pressure should be measured accurately and some other types of diet should be eaten if the bleeding symptoms are more common.

Pregnancy bleeding is a common problem in early pregnancy, and about one-quarter of pregnant women will experience this condition. When faced with this problem, pregnant women are usually very worried, not knowing whether they will have a miscarriage or give birth to an abnormal baby. According to statistics, about half of patients with early pregnancy bleeding can successfully become pregnant again, while about 30% of patients will experience spontaneous abortion, 10% of patients will have ectopic pregnancy, and a very small number of patients may have problems such as hydatidiform mole and cervical disease.

If you experience bleeding during pregnancy, see your doctor as soon as possible. The doctor will first assess the amount of bleeding and accurately measure blood pressure and pulse rate to determine whether immediate hospitalization is needed. Then the patient will be asked some relevant information, such as the date of the last menstrual period, whether the menstrual period is regular, whether morning sickness and breast pain have occurred before, and whether they still exist, and whether there is any lower abdominal pain. Then further physical examination will be carried out and a basic diagnosis will be made. Once bleeding in early pregnancy is diagnosed, appropriate treatment must be given based on the diagnosis.

Pregnancy bleeding is sometimes very complicated to diagnose. First of all, it is necessary to determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy. When it is confirmed to be a normal intrauterine pregnancy, bed rest is required. At the same time, tell the patient that the chance of congenital abnormalities in the fetus is the same as that of ordinary pregnant women. As the saying goes, 'survival of the fittest', most of the fetuses that can be retained are normal, and most of the abnormal fetuses will be expelled from the uterus. If it is found that it is not an intrauterine pregnancy, further diagnosis is required to determine whether it is a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or hydatidiform mole, and appropriate treatment should be given to avoid harm to the pregnant mother.

Common questions about early pregnancy test

Early pregnancy test:

During the diagnosis of pregnancy, pregnant mothers need to go to the street community hospital outpatient clinic for the first pregnancy check-up at 12 weeks of pregnancy, and create a liaison health care guide for pregnant women. Subsequent pregnancy checkups can be carried out in a secondary hospital or the hospital where the pregnant woman is scheduled to give birth.

Prenatal care:

Every pregnant woman hopes to give birth to a healthy baby, so prenatal examination is very important. Prenatal testing can rule out some key abnormalities and can be done as early as 8 weeks of pregnancy. At present, the most common method of checking chromosomes is regular peripheral blood screening. Of course, routine villus sampling and peripheral blood screening are not diagnostic tests. If abnormalities are found in the baby during the test, amniocentesis should be performed at 16-20 weeks of pregnancy for further diagnosis.

During prenatal examinations, the method of villus examination may cause certain harm to the fetus and even cause miscarriage. Therefore, generally speaking, only pregnant women who are over 35 years old, have given birth to unhealthy or mature children, have a family history of genetic diseases, have taken harmful drugs, or have been infected with viruses need to undergo a CSF test (these pregnant women should go to a health care institution for genetic counseling when planning to become pregnant); ordinary pregnant women only need to undergo peripheral blood screening. If abnormalities are found, amniocentesis is performed to make the diagnosis.
