What should I do if I see blood but haven't entered the pelvis yet?

When the fetus is mature, the pregnant woman will give birth naturally. It is also a common phenomenon that when the pregnant woman has spotting but the fetus has not entered the pelvis, this may be caused by the wrong position of the fetus. After the pregnant woman has spotting, she may be prone to contractions or amniotic fluid rupture. She needs timely care and pay more attention to observing the changes in her body.

What should I do if I see blood but the fetus has not yet entered the pelvis?

As your pregnancy draws to a close, the baby in your belly is already quietly preparing for birth. The baby will wait for the opportunity in the amniotic fluid and fetal membrane, with head down, buttocks up and body curled up. Before delivery, the first thing the fetus is forced to do is to put its head through the mother's pelvic inlet into the pelvic cavity so that its body position is consolidated. This is what is medically known as "pelvic entry". It can be said that pelvic floor is the prelude to childbirth. Within 24-48 hours before delivery, the cervix begins to move, causing the fetal membrane near the cervix to separate from the uterine wall. The capillaries rupture and a small amount of blood is discharged through the vagina and mixed with the mucus in the cervical canal and discharged. This bloody mucus that flows out of the vagina is the "spot of blood" that pregnant women experience. Spotting during pregnancy is usually a sign of impending labor. Generally speaking, there are several reasons why the fetus cannot enter the pelvis, including cephalopelvic disproportion, asymmetry between the fetal head and pelvis, the fetus is too large, the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, the fetal head cannot descend, and placenta previa. The disadvantage of not being able to enter the pelvis is that it can easily lead to premature rupture of membranes, resulting in caesarean section, etc. Generally speaking, "seeing blood" means that delivery is imminent, but of course it varies from person to person. Everyone's physiological conditions are different. Seeing spotting is just a sign that labor pains are about to begin. It will take 1-2 days after seeing spotting to give birth, while for some people it may take 4-5 days. Especially for first-time mothers, delivery will not occur immediately after spotting, so you need to wait patiently. In short, if there is bleeding and the baby has not entered the pelvis, you have to rely on various examination methods and the doctor's professional judgment to decide whether a caesarean section is needed. Some mothers will be able to give birth naturally after waiting for a period of time. The specific decision should be made based on your physical condition and the doctor's advice.

What to do if you see blood before giving birth

Within 24-48 hours before delivery, the cervix begins to move, causing the fetal membrane near the cervix to separate from the uterine wall. The capillaries rupture and a small amount of blood is discharged through the vagina and mixed with the mucus in the cervical canal and discharged. This bloody mucus that flows out of the vagina is the "spot of blood" that pregnant women experience. Spotting during pregnancy is usually a sign of impending labor. Because of the contraction of the uterus, the baby's head begins to fall into the pelvis, and the fetal membrane and uterine wall gradually separate and the friction will cause blood vessels to rupture and bleed, which is commonly known as "seeing blood". It is usually a pink or brown viscous liquid, or blood in the secretions. Generally, spotting occurs 24 hours before labor pains, but it may also occur repeatedly a few days before delivery or even a week before delivery. Many women believe that they will have contractions immediately after seeing blood, which makes them nervous and focuses their attention entirely on this, leading to insomnia. Insomnia causes physical fatigue and leads to a decrease in physical strength. In fact, this is very detrimental to childbirth. Keep a good mood, wait actively and patiently, eat normally, ensure sleep, and maintain physical strength.
