What is vaginal bleeding during pregnancy?

After a woman becomes pregnant, her menstruation stops and vaginal bleeding generally does not occur. However, some women's situations are special. When they are three months pregnant, they experience vaginal bleeding. They are very worried and don't know what caused the bleeding. So, what is the cause of vaginal bleeding in the third month of pregnancy? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Abortion: Abortion refers to the termination of pregnancy before 28 weeks of pregnancy and when the fetal weight is less than 1000 grams. Vaginal bleeding is one of the main symptoms of miscarriage. If an expectant mother finds herself having vaginal bleeding before the 28th week of pregnancy, this is a "danger signal" sent by the baby to you, indicating that the baby may have threatened miscarriage. At this time, expectant mothers do not need to be too nervous. The simplest way is to lie in bed on the left side and relax mentally. If the condition does not improve but becomes serious, you need to seek medical attention immediately. If the bleeding stops and the abdominal pain disappears after treatment, it means the fetus can be saved; otherwise, miscarriage may be inevitable.

Ectopic pregnancy: Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological emergency and can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated promptly. In the early stages of pregnancy, if pregnant women find a small amount of vaginal bleeding, they should be alert to the possibility of ectopic pregnancy and go to the hospital in time. Expectant mothers who suffer from fallopian tube inflammation or have undergone fallopian tube surgery are more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy, so they should be extra careful.

The above is an introduction to what causes vaginal bleeding in the third month of pregnancy. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. There are many factors that cause vaginal bleeding in women, but generally speaking, if the amount of bleeding is large, it is very serious. You must go to a regular hospital for diagnosis in time, and then solve it effectively to avoid causing greater impact.
