How many days does bleeding usually last in early pregnancy?

Under normal circumstances, a woman's menstruation stops after she becomes pregnant, but some expectant mothers will experience bleeding symptoms in the early stages. If it is physiological, there is no need to worry, it will usually be fine in 2-3 days, and there will be no abdominal pain; but if it is pathological, you must pay special attention to it, as it is a symptom of threatened abortion, and it will also be accompanied by adverse symptoms such as abdominal pain. In this case, you must seek medical attention in time.

1. How many days does bleeding usually last in early pregnancy?

Everyone knows that pregnancy means amenorrhea, but in the early stages of pregnancy, when the fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus, there will generally be slight bleeding for one or two days. Then, when the placenta implants on the inner wall of the uterus, a small amount of bleeding is also normal. This is a normal phenomenon in the growth and development of the fetus.

Physiological discharge usually occurs when pregnancy is just beginning, with a small amount and no abdominal pain. It usually disappears automatically after 2 or 3 days and does not last long or increase in amount. If you always have painless bleeding and the blood is relatively fresh or the amount is large, you should pay attention to the possibility of precursors and need to be checked. In addition, ectopic pregnancy can be detected by ultrasound examination results.

2. Prevention methods in early pregnancy

1. Do not wear high heels during pregnancy: because after a woman becomes pregnant, her foot muscles are insufficient and the weight of her body is mainly borne by the tendons of the feet. Due to the softening of the ligaments, they cannot bear weight for a long time. Especially in the later stages of pregnancy, wearing high heels at this time is very unsafe and it is easy to fall. At the same time, it will make pregnant women more tired and cause increased pain in the lower limbs and back. Although wearing heelless flat shoes is safe, since the center of gravity falls on the heel, it is easy to cause heel pain and back pain if you stand or walk for a long time. Therefore, it is best to wear low-heeled shoes and wedge-heeled shoes with a heel of 2 to 3 cm.

2. Pregnant women should quit smoking and drinking: It is known that tobacco contains a variety of harmful substances, among which nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, etc. are the most harmful to the human body. Nicotine in tobacco can increase the fetal heartbeat, reduce placental blood flow, affect fetal development, and cause malnutrition or deformities. Alcohol is even more taboo as it can cause fetal developmental delay, deformity or mental retardation. Therefore, you should avoid smoking and drinking before planning to conceive and during pregnancy.

3. Pay attention to radiation protection: Household appliances will have some radiation to a greater or lesser extent. For example, televisions, especially color TVs, emit radiation and microwaves when working for long periods of time, which can also have subtle effects on pregnant women and fetuses. Therefore, pregnant women must do a good job of radiation protection.

4. Don’t drink tea: Because tea contains rich caffeine, drinking tea will increase the heart rate of pregnant women, increase renal blood flow, increase the burden on the heart and kidneys of pregnant women, and is not conducive to the healthy development of the fetus. Therefore, women should try not to drink tea during pregnancy.

5. Do not do strenuous exercise: Pregnant women may easily encounter accidents if they do strenuous exercise, and it may cause miscarriage if you are not careful. Therefore, pregnant women should pay more attention when exercising, and walking is a good choice.

6. Use skin care products specially made for pregnant women: Ordinary skin care products contain plant extracts and estrogen.

These are very stimulating things for babies and will affect their normal development. Therefore, when women are pregnant, it is best to use skin care products specifically for pregnant women to avoid affecting the fetus.
