Is it a big deal to have your period in the first month of pregnancy?

As we all know, if a woman goes about her business normally, she usually has her period once a month, also known as menstruation, commonly known as her period. But once a woman is pregnant, normally she will not have her period during pregnancy. But some pregnant women get their periods in the first month of pregnancy. What is the reason for this phenomenon? Is it a serious matter? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

If a woman has vaginal blood in the first month of pregnancy, the vaginal blood is not menstruation. Women should be alert to threatened abortion. What is the cause of vaginal blood and is it serious? According to statistics, after vaginal bleeding occurs in early pregnancy, about half of the patients can continue to have a successful pregnancy, about another 30% of patients will experience spontaneous abortion, 10% of patients will have ectopic pregnancy, and a very small number of patients may have problems such as hydatidiform mole, cervical lesions, etc. Many studies have shown that if vaginal bleeding occurs in early pregnancy and the pregnancy continues successfully, the proportion of fetuses with congenital abnormalities does not increase. Vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy should be examined and treated in the hospital in time. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, appropriate treatment must be taken according to the diagnosis. If it is an ectopic pregnancy or a molar pregnancy, surgery or medication is necessary. If it is a normal intrauterine pregnancy, you must rest in bed appropriately. As to whether you need to supplement progesterone, there is still no conclusion. It is generally believed that if there is a luteal phase defect in the menstrual cycle before pregnancy or a history of habitual miscarriage, it is best to supplement progesterone.

The diagnosis of vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy is sometimes complicated. First, it is necessary to determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy. When it is determined to be a normal intrauterine pregnancy, bed rest is required. At the same time, the patient should be informed that the chance of congenital abnormalities in her fetus is the same as that of ordinary pregnant women. As the saying goes, "survival of the fittest", the fetuses that can be kept are mostly normal, and abnormal fetuses will mostly be expelled from the uterus. If it is found that the pregnancy is not intrauterine, further diagnosis is required to determine whether it is spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy or hydatidiform mole, and appropriate treatment is given to avoid harm to the mother.

Generally, women will not experience vaginal bleeding after they become pregnant. If vaginal bleeding occurs after pregnancy, it should be considered as ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. It is recommended that women go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination in time to clarify the cause. If the fetus can be preserved, take measures to preserve the fetus. If the fetus cannot be preserved, do not force it.

Therefore, everyone should know that the menstrual period in the first month of pregnancy is not real menstruation, it is very likely vaginal bleeding, and the pregnant woman needs to rest at this time. It is difficult to find out what is causing vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy, and it is also not easy to determine whether it will affect the baby. Therefore, if a woman experiences this condition in the first month of pregnancy, she should pay more attention.
