2 months pregnant

Two months of pregnancy is in the early stages of pregnancy, and the probability of spontaneous abortion during this period is very high, so pregnant women need to pay close attention to various changes in their bodies in the early stages of pregnancy. A very small number of pregnant women found light red blood stains on their lower body when they were two months pregnant, which made them very worried. So, is the appearance of light red blood in the second month of pregnancy a sign of threatened miscarriage?

What to do if you have spotting during 2 months of pregnancy

If you have spotting during the second month of pregnancy, you must seek prompt diagnosis, because there are many reasons for spotting in early pregnancy. Spotting during the second month of pregnancy may be caused by the following reasons:

1. Miscarriage

There are many reasons for miscarriage, the main one being genetic defects that prevent the embryo from developing normally. Excessive exposure to harmful chemicals during pregnancy, such as arsenic, benzene, formaldehyde, ethylene oxide, etc., can cause miscarriage. Maternal systemic diseases, reproductive organ malformations or tumors, endocrine disorders, etc. can also lead to miscarriage. The main symptoms of miscarriage are vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain in early pregnancy. Generally, during the threatened abortion stage, vaginal bleeding is less and abdominal pain is mild. If there is no abnormality in the fetal development, the bleeding will stop after pregnancy preservation treatment and the pregnancy can continue. If the amount of bleeding is more than menstruation and is accompanied by severe abdominal pain, the possibility of miscarriage will increase. It is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. Ectopic pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy is also called an ectopic pregnancy. It means that the fertilized egg fails to enter the uterus normally, and implants in other locations of the uterine cavity, most commonly the fallopian tube, uterine cornu, abdominal cavity or ovary. In layman's terms, it means that the fertilized egg stays and grows outside the uterus. The walls of these areas are thin and narrow. When the fertilized egg grows bigger, it will pass through the wall tube, damage the blood vessels and cause heavy bleeding.

When an ectopic pregnancy occurs, vaginal bleeding usually occurs more than one month after the menstruation has ceased, often accompanied by dull pain, bloating, and heaviness in the lower abdomen. At this time, a urine HCG pregnancy test may be positive, but an ultrasound examination will not reveal the embryonic sac of pregnancy in the uterine cavity, and abnormal tumors can often be found in the fallopian tube. When it grows to a certain size, the tissue around the implantation will be damaged and cause bleeding. If the ectopic pregnancy has ruptured, tearing pain may occur in one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, it may endanger the life of the pregnant woman.

3. Hydatidiform mole

Hydatidiform mole is a type of malformed pregnancy. In the early stages of embryonic development, the trophoblastic cells of the pregnant woman's placenta proliferate abnormally and transform into clusters of connected blisters, which look a bit like grapes in appearance, so it is called hydatidiform mole. Vaginal bleeding in hydatidiform mole occurs later than in miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy, usually around three months. The amount of bleeding starts out small, then gradually increases, and even can lead to repeated heavy bleeding, at which time blister-like tissue can be seen in the blood. The uterus of a patient with hydatidiform mole generally grows faster than the corresponding pregnancy time. If such abnormal conditions occur after pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
