Pregnant woman bleeding

In the early stages of pregnancy, women need to pay attention to many things because their hormone levels change. After a woman becomes pregnant, her menstruation will stop, which means that there will be no vaginal bleeding under normal circumstances. If vaginal bleeding occurs about two months into the pregnancy, you should first suspect threatened abortion and go to the hospital for examination. This article introduces the possible causes of bleeding in early pregnancy. Let’s take a look.

1. Is it normal to bleed during the second month of pregnancy?

Two months into the pregnancy, the implantation of the fertilized egg will cause vaginal bleeding in women. The process of the embryo implanting into the endometrium is an invasive process. Most women do not have particularly obvious reactions during the implantation period. A few women will have a small amount of bleeding or only brown discharge. Therefore, under normal circumstances, bleeding in early pregnancy is normal, but it does not rule out bleeding caused by other causes.

Causes of bleeding in early pregnancy

1. Fertilized egg implantation bleeding: This is the most common cause of spotting. When the fertilized egg implants in the endometrium, there may be a little bleeding, which usually does not last more than 2-3 days.

2. Cervical polyps: It is another common cause of spotting. After pregnancy, blood supply increases and estrogen rises rapidly, which can cause congestion of cervical polyps and make contact bleeding more likely to occur, such as spotting after a gynecological examination or intercourse.

3. Miscarriage: The probability of miscarriage due to spotting is low, but if vaginal bleeding continues, the risk of miscarriage will increase. At this time, an ultrasound examination is often needed to see if there is an embryo and a heartbeat.

4. Ectopic pregnancy: Ectopic pregnancy is another common cause of bleeding, which may manifest as spotting or continuous bleeding. For women with bleeding in early pregnancy, routine ultrasound examination is recommended to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.

5. Inflammation: Vaginitis or cervicitis are common gynecological diseases, which often occur after pregnancy and may cause spotting or continuous bleeding.
