A little light bleeding in early pregnancy

Many pregnant women know that the early stages of pregnancy are particularly difficult because the baby's fetal image is not very stable during this period, and miscarriage can easily occur if you are not careful. Therefore, women in the early stages of pregnancy are particularly afraid that there will be any abnormalities with the baby in their belly. Moreover, if a pregnant woman has a threatened miscarriage, there will generally be some blood in her lower body. So if a woman in the early stages of pregnancy finds light blood in her lower body, could it be caused by threatened bleeding?

What to do if there is a little light bleeding during pregnancy

During pregnancy, vaginal bleeding is a sign of threatened abortion. Color Doppler ultrasound should be performed as soon as possible to confirm that it is an intrauterine pregnancy before treatment to preserve the pregnancy can be given.

Signs of miscarriage

1. Be careful of incomplete miscarriage. The products of conception have been partially expelled from the body, but some remain in the uterine cavity, leading to inevitable miscarriage. Because some products of pregnancy remain in the uterine cavity, uterine contraction is affected, resulting in continuous uterine bleeding and even hemorrhagic shock due to excessive bleeding.

2. Vaginal bleeding and increased abdominal pain. The entire process of early pregnancy miscarriage symptoms is accompanied by vaginal bleeding, which usually occurs within 12 weeks of pregnancy. At the beginning, the chorion separates from the decidua, the blood sinuses open, and bleeding begins. After the embryo is completely separated and expelled, the bleeding stops due to uterine contraction. Symptoms of miscarriage in early pregnancy are accompanied by abdominal pain during vaginal bleeding. After vaginal bleeding, the separation of the embryo and the blood clots in the uterine cavity stimulate uterine contractions, resulting in paroxysmal lower abdominal pain. The characteristic is that vaginal bleeding often occurs before abdominal pain.

3. Threatened abortion. A small amount of vaginal bleeding occurs first, often followed by paroxysmal lower abdominal pain or back pain. Gynecological examination shows that the cervix is ​​not dilated, the fetal membranes are not ruptured, the products of conception have not been expelled, the size of the uterus is consistent with the number of weeks of amenorrhea, and there is hope of continuing the pregnancy. After rest and treatment, if the bleeding stops and the lower abdominal pain disappears, the pregnancy can continue; if the vaginal bleeding increases or the lower abdominal pain worsens, it may develop into a spontaneous abortion.

Pregnancy and childbirth are not just women's matters. The whole process also requires the support of men and the careful care of family members. What should you do if there is a little bit of light bleeding during pregnancy? If you don't take it seriously, then it is very likely that you will not be able to have this child. Therefore, pregnancy is not only important for pregnant mothers, but also for fathers who can stay with pregnant mothers and take care of them. Their role at this time is particularly important.
