What to do if you see blood during pregnancy?

No matter what abnormal conditions occur during pregnancy, you need to consult a doctor as soon as possible. Under normal circumstances, spotting will only occur in the late pregnancy when you are about to give birth. This is a typical sign of childbirth. However, many pregnant women have such problems in the middle period. You should be vigilant about this. The risks are relatively high. So what should you do if you spot in the middle period of pregnancy?

Bloody show refers to the appearance of a small amount of bloody vaginal discharge, similar to the amount of bleeding at the beginning or end of your period, and the color of the bleeding may be pink, red, or brown. In the second trimester (April-July), the causes of small amount of vaginal bleeding or vaginal bleeding include: placenta previa (or low-lying) placenta, placental abruption, threatened abortion, cervical inflammation bleeding and coagulation abnormalities. It is common to have a small amount of bleeding and a feeling of abdominal heaviness in the second trimester, but because this symptom often occurs in the second trimester, the mother will not feel strong uterine contractions and the pain is not obvious.

After spotting in the second trimester, if it is the first pregnancy and neither the embryo nor the mother has any other diseases or abnormalities, it is particularly important to protect the fetus. Pregnant women need to rest in bed, refrain from sexual intercourse, and take pregnancy-preserving drugs if necessary.

You should eat regularly and maintain good personal hygiene. Choose food that is easy to digest. People with weak gastrointestinal tract should be cautious when eating cold foods, such as mung beans, white fungus, lotus seeds, etc. People with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire should be cautious when eating foods that are easy to cause internal heat, such as rooster, beef, dog meat, carp, etc.

Keep your mood happy. Spontaneous abortion is caused by hyperexcitability of the subcortical centers of pregnant women. Experiments have shown that the functional state of the nervous system plays a decisive role in abortion. Therefore, during pregnancy, one should be mentally relaxed, avoid various stimuli, and use a variety of methods to eliminate tension, boredom, and fear in order to harmonize emotions. Have regular prenatal checkups.

Drug treatment. If necessary, take pregnancy-preserving drugs such as progesterone, dydrogesterone tablets, etc. Avoid excessive sexual activity, eating too much hot and irritating food such as chocolate, chili pepper, longan, or hot pot, as these will also aggravate bleeding symptoms.

I believe everyone is clear about what to do if you see spotting in the second trimester of pregnancy. For those pregnant women with weaker bodies, seeing spotting is likely to lead to miscarriage or other dangerous things. At this time, you must receive treatment under the arrangement and guidance of a doctor, and you must also do a good job of nurturing the fetus and adjust your daily life.
