Slight bleeding at 6 weeks of pregnancy

During pregnancy, we may find abnormal conditions that may lead to miscarriage. In many cases, it is because we are not very familiar with the common problems in early pregnancy, which causes women to have physical problems and fail to pay high attention and solve them. So what should we do if there is mild bleeding in the sixth week of pregnancy?

1. What to do if you have bleeding at 6 weeks of pregnancy

1. Maintain a stable mood. If a pregnant mother in 6 weeks of pregnancy finds vaginal bleeding, she does not need to worry, but should adjust her mood so that she can accurately find the cause of the disease and then find a way to deal with it. In addition, the pregnant mother's stable mood and cheerfulness are also beneficial to the fetus.

2. Clarify the cause of bleeding. The fetus is still unstable at 6 weeks of pregnancy. If vaginal bleeding occurs at this time, pregnant mothers must pay great attention to it, because it is likely to be threatened abortion or ectopic pregnancy. When a pregnant mother finds vaginal bleeding, she should first determine whether she has other symptoms, such as abdominal pain, etc. If so, she must seek medical attention immediately.

3. Cooperate with doctors for examination and treatment. If a pregnant mother in her 6th week of pregnancy has vaginal bleeding, she should go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital as soon as possible and cooperate with the doctor to do various tests, find out the cause of the disease, and carry out tocolysis treatment. Never take tocolysis drugs on your own.

4. Rest in bed. Bleeding in a 6-week pregnant woman may be caused by overwork. Therefore, at this time, the pregnant woman should stay in bed and rest without fatigue. Even if it is not caused by fatigue, it also indicates that the fetus is unstable, and bed rest is necessary for fetal treatment.

5. The early pregnancy is a very dangerous stage and also a critical period for the baby's development. Therefore, if there are any abnormalities in the expectant mother's body at this time, you must be cautious and seek medical attention immediately. Do not think that you have no problem and do not want to take medicine to affect the fetus, so you bear it on your own and do not go to the doctor. You must understand that if you do so, the minor problem may not be treated in time and may become bigger, thus affecting the fetus.

2. Causes of bleeding in early pregnancy

Causes of bleeding in early pregnancy include:

1. Physiological bleeding: After pregnancy, some women will still have a small amount of menstrual bleeding during their menstrual period, generally without other accompanying symptoms (such as abdominal pain, menstrual discomfort). This may be just a physiological requirement for the implantation of the fertilized egg, that is, the integration process of the pericardium and the parietal decidua, or it may be that the effect of suppressing normal menarche is not complete. This condition does not require treatment, just keep the vulva clean.

2. Miscarriage: When the decidua basalis bleeds, the embryo and the endometrium are separated and the uterus is stimulated, which causes uterine contractions, cervical dilation, and blood to be discharged from the cervical opening. This type of bleeding is often accompanied by lower abdominal distension and pain. The amount of bleeding increases from a small amount to a large amount, the color changes from dark to red, and the abdominal pain gradually develops from dull pain to severe pain. If this symptom occurs, seek medical attention immediately. Pregnant women who are suddenly hit by falls, collisions or other external forces may suffer miscarriage.

3. Ectopic pregnancy: refers to the combination of sperm and egg, but the embryo implants and develops in the fallopian tubes, ovaries or abdomen instead of in the uterus. Among them, fallopian tube pregnancy is the most common. When the sperm and egg combine and grow to a certain level, the walls of both fallopian tubes will crack and bleed. Because this type of bleeding occurs in the abdomen, vaginal discharge may not involve a lot of blood. However, this type of excessive blood loss often results in fainting, shock, etc. If rescue is not timely, it may lead to the patient's death. Therefore, pregnant women who bleed and experience sudden abdominal pain or fainting should go to the hospital immediately for medical treatment.
