What to do if you have repeated bleeding during pregnancy

There will be many symptoms in the second trimester of pregnancy, but not as many as in the early stages of pregnancy. Pregnant women feel relatively good, but sometimes there will be some bad conditions. So, what should I do if I have repeated small amounts of bleeding in the second trimester of pregnancy? Let's have a simple understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

What to do if you have repeated small amounts of bleeding during mid-pregnancy

In fact, a little bleeding is normal, but if it is not a lot of bleeding, you should see a doctor. In fact, this is what the saying "spotting blood during pregnancy" means. There is also a folk saying that if you see blood during pregnancy, it is very likely that the baby you are carrying is a boy!

The second trimester can be said to be a relatively stable stage for both the mother and the fetus, but as the abdomen gradually expands, the mother's body will experience various discomfort symptoms, so she must be prepared to deal with them.

1. Low back pain

When you are pregnant, you need to pay attention to your posture and comfort. Because the abdomen is protruding, pregnant mothers need to open their legs a little, push their abdomen forward a little, and tilt their upper body backward a little to maintain body balance. As the abdomen grows, the mother's body will lean more and more backward. If this posture is maintained for a long time, the waist muscles of pregnant mothers are prone to tension, which will cause back pain in the long run.

To reduce low back pain, pregnant mothers should pay attention to their sitting and sitting posture during the second trimester of pregnancy. When sitting or standing, do not hunch your shoulders forward and keep your upper body straight. Don't sit on tables and chairs that are too flexible or have no backs. When sitting on tables and chairs, your waist should be close to the backrest. Don't stand for long periods of time and avoid sleeping on a bed that is too soft. Keep your weight moderately controlled and try to minimize reaching your hands above your head to pick up or put things. You can also massage your waist muscles to effectively relieve stress.

2. Constipation

In the second half of pregnancy, in order to prevent uterine contractions, the embryo will secrete a male hormone called luteinizing hormone. Under the influence of this type of hormone, the smooth muscles of pregnant women will become loose, intestinal peristalsis will become irregular, and constipation will easily occur. Therefore, pregnant women should eat more grains and vegetables rich in cellulose, and consume more fruit juice and water. Avoid high-sugar foods and exercise more.

3. Hemorrhoids

Severe constipation and abdominal distension in the second trimester of pregnancy can easily lead to hemorrhoids. If a pregnant mother finds that she experiences bleeding, swelling, pain, or itching in the anus when wiping with tissue paper after defecation, she may have hemorrhoids. To relieve hemorrhoids, pregnant mothers should control their diet, avoid constipation, do not strain when defecating, and it is best to clean the anus with tap water after defecation. You can take a bath in a tub every day. Try not to stand or sit for a long time at ordinary times to avoid poor blood circulation in the lower body and aggravate the condition.

4. Skin itching

After the second trimester of pregnancy, many pregnant women experience itchy skin and rash, which mainly occur on the chest, abdomen, and legs. It is generally believed that it is caused by the influence of male hormones in embryo metabolism or excessive sweating. To alleviate the symptoms of itching, pregnant women should keep the body clean, wear cotton and breathable clothes, avoid poor rest or excessive fatigue, and eat a nutritious diet and avoid high-calorie foods. If the itching is severe, you need to take medication according to the doctor's prescription.
