Beware of these dangers of vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy

Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is very dangerous because pregnant women will have irregular vaginal bleeding. Most pregnant women will experience it frequently. Vaginal bleeding usually indicates several dangerous signs, such as miscarriage or malposition of the fetus, hormonal imbalance, low progesterone and other factors.

Risks of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy

Abnormal vaginal bleeding is a common problem starting from early pregnancy, experienced by about 1 in 4 pregnant women. The causes and conditions of bleeding during pregnancy vary from person to person, and the degree of danger varies. In order to ensure the safety of pregnant women and fetuses, every pregnant mother should have some knowledge and understanding of various situations that may cause bleeding.

Generally speaking, the timing of bleeding during pregnancy is clinically divided into two categories: "bleeding in early pregnancy" and "bleeding in mid-to-late pregnancy".

1. Early stage (1-3 months of pregnancy)

Possibility 1: Miscarriage

Risk factors

Fetal chromosomal abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, congenital uterine developmental abnormalities and acquired defects, immune system problems, infections, habitual miscarriages, chronic diseases such as heart disease, kidney disease and blood diseases, overwork, excessive stress, intense sex life, staying up late, SPA massage, environmental pollution, drug abuse, smoking, drinking, caffeine intake or any food that promotes uterine contraction.

【Doctor’s advice】

Since embryo implantation is not stable before the placenta develops, many factors can easily cause miscarriage. When miscarriage occurs, the embryo and the uterine wall will separate to varying degrees. Once the blood vessels at the separation surface rupture, vaginal bleeding symptoms will occur. According to a medical research statistic, more than half of pregnant women who experience bleeding in early pregnancy can get through it safely and continue to have a successful pregnancy; about 30% of pregnant women may face the fate of spontaneous abortion; and nearly 10% of pregnant women may have ectopic pregnancy or other problems. Some pregnant women worry that abnormal vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy will cause the baby to be unhealthy. Many studies have shown that more than half of miscarriages may be caused by abnormalities in the embryo itself. Because humans have the ability to self-eliminate, most fetuses are normal if the pregnancy can continue.
