Is it a problem to have brown discharge in the third trimester of pregnancy?

It is very normal to have brown discharge from the lower body before menstruation. It is a sign before menstruation. During ovulation, brown discharge will also be discharged from the lower body, which will not affect the body. However, there is no menstruation and ovulation during pregnancy, so if there is brown discharge from the lower body, you must be cautious. It is very likely caused by inflammation or gynecological diseases, and you need to go to the hospital for examination.

In fact, we need to analyze the specific situation to determine whether brown discharge during the third month of pregnancy is serious or not.

1. Cervical abnormalities. The most common one is cervical erosion. Many women still have sex because they don’t know they are pregnant. Then brown discharge is likely to appear, and cervical erosion should be considered at this time. Cervical polyps can also cause bleeding symptoms, and the bleeding may be continuous. The most noteworthy ones are decidual polyps, which are polyps that occur specifically in women after pregnancy and last longer. This type of polyp cannot be removed surgically, otherwise it will cause continuous bleeding.

2. Endometrial shedding, which is directly related to individual differences. After a woman becomes pregnant, the levels of sex hormones, especially progesterone, secreted by her ovaries are relatively low, so part of the endometrium will continue to shed. Therefore, these women will still have their periods after pregnancy, but the amount of menstrual flow will be much less than usual. Until a woman's estrogen and progesterone levels are maintained at a relatively high level, the endometrium will no longer be shed.

3. Ectopic pregnancy, which mainly refers to the fertilized egg implanting and developing outside the uterus. If a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, she will have abnormal symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding and continuous spotting, but it generally will not exceed the amount of menstruation. The harm of ectopic pregnancy is very serious. Not only can the fertilized egg not develop normally, but if it is not treated in time, it may endanger the woman's life.

Some women have brown discharge in the third month of pregnancy. This is simply because the estrogen and progesterone levels are too low. If there are no other abnormal symptoms, then we just need to wait until the middle of pregnancy when the hormone levels increase. If it is due to cervical abnormalities or ectopic pregnancy, then we must take some measures to deal with it, especially ectopic pregnancy may endanger women's lives, so we cannot delay for a moment.

What are the precautions for pregnant women in the first three months?

1. If you are a working woman and do not plan to give up your job after becoming pregnant, you need to pay attention to your working environment. For example, try to avoid contact with harmful chemicals such as mercury and benzene. If there are serious pollution or noise problems in the working environment, you need to be careful to avoid them.

2. Morning sickness is normal. During the first three months of pregnancy, symptoms such as morning sickness and vomiting will occur. People should be able to face these symptoms with a reasonable attitude. Do not stop eating because of vomiting, and do not bring corresponding health effects to the fetus.

3. Be especially careful during sex. You must be careful when having sex during the first three months of pregnancy, because the embryo is just developing at this time. If you have sex too vigorously, it will definitely lead to the possibility of miscarriage.

4. Avoid overwork. After you know you are pregnant, remember not to work too hard. Avoid doing many strenuous tasks if you can avoid them. Also remember to slow down your movements when bending over or squatting.
