Does a pregnant woman's spotting mean she's about to give birth?

Pregnant women are very anxious before giving birth because no one knows when the birth will occur. In fact, every pregnant woman has some signs before giving birth. If we can understand the relevant signs, it will help us to make good prenatal preparations. If a pregnant woman sees blood during labor, does it mean that she is about to give birth?

Is it true that a pregnant woman is about to give birth if she sees red?

"Pregnant women seeing blood during pregnancy" is a reliable sign that the pregnant woman's delivery is about to begin, so when the pregnant woman's due date has arrived and she has irregular uterine contractions, she should immediately check whether there is pink secretion in her shorts. Generally speaking, the pain will begin within 24 hours after the onset of bleeding during pregnancy, and the woman will enter the delivery stage. But the actual situation is that many people give birth a few days or even a week after having spotting during pregnancy. Individual differences are quite large, so the key is to observe its appearance, color, amount, etc. after seeing spotting during pregnancy and then make a judgment.

Some conditions can also cause vaginal bleeding. Painless, recurrent bleeding in late pregnancy or during labor is a clinical symptom of placenta previa. Bleeding occurs because a section of the uterus gradually flexes and contracts, the cervical canal recedes, and the cervical opening dilates in the late pregnancy or after delivery, while the embryo attached to the bottom of the uterus or the cervical opening cannot flex and contract relatively, so that the external part of the embryo is separated from its adhesion, causing blood vessels to rupture and cause bleeding. This situation is not a sign of delivery and should be carefully identified. But generally speaking, if the pregnancy examination is normal and there are no abnormal phenomena during normal times, and the delivery period is reached and irregular uterine contractions have been experienced, if vaginal secretions of mucus are found at this time, they are all reliable signs of labor.

If there is a lot of vaginal bleeding that exceeds the menstrual flow, it should not be considered a precursor to labor. Instead, you should consider whether there are exudative symptoms in late pregnancy, such as placenta previa, placental abruption, etc.

What are the signs before childbirth?

Blood loss during pregnancy is because the position of the fetus descends, the fetal membrane wrapping the fetus separates from the uterus, and the discharged blood seeps into the mucus of the cervical canal, so some stubborn mucus will be secreted. Note: If the blood bar exceeds the menstrual volume, it may be an obstetric disease such as placenta previa. Do not think it is pregnancy spotting and you need to go to the hospital for treatment.

The blood-stained uterus contracts and causes waves of abdominal pain accompanied by back pain and a feeling of falling. The uterine contractions change from irregular to regular, with pain about once every 10 minutes. In this case, you need to go to the hospital outpatient department for hospitalization. Pregnant mothers must remember the onset time, separation time and duration of pain of uterine contractions. Note: It should be distinguished from false labor. The characteristics of false labor are that it lasts for a long time, the interval is long and irregular, the intensity of uterine contraction does not increase spontaneously, and the mild distension and pain limited to the lower abdomen often occurs at night and disappears in the morning, which can be suppressed by sedatives.
