What happens when you have your period after you get pregnant?

Generally speaking, women are unlikely to have their periods after becoming pregnant, but a very small number of women experience vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, which is actually not menstruation. This condition usually occurs in the first three months of pregnancy, with less bleeding, lighter color, and longer duration, which is different from the normal menstrual characteristics. It usually occurs only once, but in some women it occurs 2-3 times. This situation will also cause many women to still not know that they are pregnant after they become pregnant.

What causes menstruation after pregnancy

1. Generally, menstruation will not occur after the embryo implants. However, if the embryo implantation is not stable and the embryo is not produced, the perfect egg will continue to be discharged when the menarche comes, and it will be discharged from the body along with the uterine wall, which will cause the symptom of postpartum bleeding.

2. Because the health conditions of every pregnant woman are different, some women have relatively low estrogen levels during pregnancy, especially high estrogen, which causes part of the uterine wall to fall off. However, after three months of pregnancy, the woman's body hormones are stable, the uterine wall no longer falls off, and bleeding symptoms will no longer occur.

3. If a pregnant woman suffers from gynecological diseases such as cervical polyps, erosion, cervical cancer, etc., bleeding may also occur during pregnancy.

4. If you have had amenorrhea before and then tested positive for pregnancy, and vaginal bleeding continues to occur at this time, and the pregnant woman has symptoms of back pain and abdominal pain, then it may be a sign of threatened abortion or ectopic pregnancy, and you should go to the hospital for a physical examination.

What are the effects of menstruation after pregnancy

Abnormal embryo implantation may cause bleeding after pregnancy. The cause of abnormal embryo implantation may be related to the sex chromosomes of both parties, imperfect function of the female ovarian corpus luteum, or abnormalities of the uterine wall. Bleeding may be a sign of abnormal sperm and egg combination, and this type of symptom may cause some women to not realize they are pregnant. If there is any abnormality in the body, you should go to the hospital for a physical examination immediately.

If the uterine wall is falling off and bleeding is caused by the low estrogen level of the pregnant woman, after three months of pregnancy, the embryo is produced and the pregnant woman's growth hormone will tend to stabilize. At this time, the uterine wall will no longer fall off and the bleeding will stop.

Some women do not take vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy seriously, thinking it is a normal menstrual period. However, if the bleeding continues and is accompanied by abdominal pain and bloating, it may be a symptom of threatened abortion, hydatidiform mole or ectopic pregnancy, which may cause miscarriage or internal bleeding in the pregnant woman. In such cases, you should seek medical attention immediately to avoid affecting the health of the fetus and the pregnant woman.
